Hobby Boss 82498 Soviet OT-130 Flame Thrower Tank (1/35) – Plastic model kit

The Hobby Boss 82498 Soviet OT-130 Flame Thrower Tank model in 1/35 scale is a faithful replica of the Soviet flamethrower tank from the Second World War era. The OT-130, based on the T-26 light tank, gained recognition as one of the most effective flamethrowers on the Eastern Front. Introduced into service in the Soviet Union from the late 1930s, it played a key role in clashes with German forces, as well as in border conflicts with Finnish troops during the Winter War (1939–1940).

The Hobby Boss model features authentic armor details, the turret, and the characteristic KS-25 flamethrower barrel, which distinguished the OT-130 from conventional T-26 versions. The manufacturer ensured accurate reproduction of the original riveted armor surfaces and the detailed turret equipment, guaranteeing satisfaction even for the most demanding modelers.

The set is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring both precision in detail reproduction and ease of assembly. The model consists of numerous, carefully made components, such as suspension details, running gear, and replicated armor texture. Also included are plastic tracks for self-assembly. The kit comes with decals allowing you to add historically accurate Soviet markings.

We especially recommend this model for experienced military modelers, fans of armored vehicles, and historical Eastern Front recreations. The complexity of assembly, many small parts, and the detailed reproduction make this model quite a challenge even for more advanced enthusiasts (difficulty level 4/5). It's also an excellent basis for personalization and dioramas presenting the wartime operations of the Red Army. An excellent choice for collectors of World War II armored vehicles and for those who appreciate realistic historical documentation in scale modeling.
