1/35 Soviet T-12 Medium Tank

Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

The concept of the T-12 consisted of a synthesis of the experience gained during the design and mass production of the T-18, and the idea of a multi-tier deployment of weapons, which was consistently tested by American engineers in the design of prototypes of a medium tank. The T-12 had a simple hull structure between two tracks with small-bogie suspension.

It had an eight-sided turret with a rounded commander’s cuploa, and a crew of four. It weighed 19 tons, was 7.5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2.8 meters high. It was armed with a typical Model 32 45mm gun, with space for 1,000 rounds, and it even had three 7.62mm DT machine guns in a Fedorov-Ivanov ball mount–one in the commander’s cupola, one next to the main gun, ad one on the side of the tank’s turret. Like all Soviet tanks of that time, the T-12 had a removable “tail,” which increases the length of the hull by 69cm, and gave the opportunity to overcome the trenches up to a width of 2.65 meters.

Will be about 17.8cm long and 7.6cm wide when completed; molded in tan and brown plastic.
