T26 (6mm)

I bought examples of the T-26 1931 - One Mg and one 37mm gun turret, T-26S 1937, T-26S 1939 - Additional hull armour and the OT-130 - Flame tank to add to my existing Early WW2 Soviet tank holdings. I am impressed by the quality, especially in this scale, and by the variety of types available for this ubiquitous tank, that formed nearly half the Soviet tank park at the time of Barbarossa, amd BPM gives the opportunity to depict the variety within this basic tank type. Stripping away the support is straightforward enough - though care needs to be taken with the twin turret version as they are so small (I lost one but was provide with six turrets for the two models, so no disaster). Close up the striation inherent in the way these are made is visible, but when painted and on the table it all blends away, and I will happily buy again.Phil Gray (18 Jul 2020, 10:12)
