The BT-7 is a Soviet fast light tank from the World War II era, which took part in military actions during 1937-1945, including the invasion of Poland, the Winter War, and on the Eastern Front. Its variant, the BT-42, was a modernized version used by the Finnish army - adapted as an assault gun by mounting a 114 mm howitzer.

Engine grilles play a very important role in the offensive use of these vehicles – they protected the engine from damage and contamination, while allowing proper air circulation. The original details of these elements are difficult to replicate using only the plastic parts from standard kits. Thanks to the precise photo-etching process, the Aber 35G27 set provides a much more realistic appearance, preserving both the appropriate thickness and the original pattern.

This set is ideal for intermediate and advanced modelers looking to refine their BT-7 or BT-42 models in every detail. Due to the requirement for precision assembly and working with small and delicate parts, the difficulty level is recommended at 4/5. This accessory is recommended for enthusiasts of Soviet and Finnish World War II vehicles who expect the highest quality details in their collections.
