Historical Information

The BT-7 is a Soviet light tank that was extensively used by the Red Army from 1935 to 1945, especially during the early stage of World War II, in campaigns in the East and in battles against Japan in the Far East. Thanks to its outstanding mobility and simple design, the BT-7 became a hallmark of Soviet armored forces before the arrival of the legendary T-34 tanks. The vehicle participated, among others, in the Winter War (1939–1940) and the initial phase of Operation Barbarossa in 1941.

Detailed Set Description

• fender mounts, covers, and hinges
• exhaust components and ventilation grilles
• handles, latches, and small armored details
• refined tool box details
• elements of the suspension system and tank equipment

The set is compatible with Tamiya 1/35 scale BT-7 models, allowing you to significantly increase the realism of your replica by replacing simplified plastic details with ultra-thin, sharply detailed metal parts.
