Hobby Boss 83852 Soviet T-28 Medium Tank Welded – 1:35 scale medium tank model

The Hobby Boss 83852 Soviet T-28 Medium Tank Welded is a faithfully reproduced 1:35 scale plastic model kit representing the Soviet T-28 medium tank in its welded turret and hull variant. This vehicle was one of the characteristic multi-turreted tanks of the Red Army, used before and during World War II, mainly by the Soviet Union.

Historical background and use

The T-28 tank was developed in the 1930s as infantry support and for breaching fortified lines. Its debut took place in the interwar period, and it was used intensively at the beginning of World War II, especially during the Winter War with Finland (1939-1940) and in the initial phase of Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Versions with a welded hull offered greater durability and better protection than riveted versions. The T-28 was one of the few multi-turreted tanks to be used on a large scale in combat.
