Hobby Boss 83826 Russian T-40S Light Tank is a high-quality plastic model kit in 1:35 scale, dedicated to advanced and intermediate military modelers. This kit depicts the Soviet T-40S light amphibious tank, which was mainly used by the Red Army during World War II. The T-40S was a modern design compared to its predecessors—the T-37 and T-38—thanks to its advanced torsion bar suspension and a fully welded, boat-shaped hull, which made it ideal for crossing water obstacles.

This model consists of over 310 precisely reproduced parts placed on 15 sprues and a lower hull. The set also includes a copper cable, a metal barrel, and one photo-etched part, which allows for even more accurate replication of details and increases the collectible value of the model. The manufacturer used modern slide molds, ensuring excellent detail quality for the turret and hull. The kit also includes as many as 182 individual track links, enabling you to assemble a realistic and functional vehicle track.

The T-40S was intensively used in the early years of World War II (1940–1942), especially during defensive operations after Germany attacked the USSR. Despite its thin armor, thanks to its 12.7 mm DShK machine gun armament, this tank was valued for its mobility and versatility. It works perfectly as part of a larger historical diorama depicting Eastern Front operations.
