MiniArt 37070 KMT-7 EARLY TYPE MINE-ROLLER (1/35)

MiniArt 37070 KMT-7 Early Type Mine-Roller is an exceptionally detailed plastic scale model kit in 1/35 scale, depicting the early version of the Soviet KMT-7 mine roller. This model is an excellent choice for modelers interested in reconstructing Soviet tanks from the Cold War and postwar periods. The KMT-7 was designed as specialized military equipment and became one of the most recognizable mine rollers used by the USSR army and its allies.

Historical background and application

The KMT-7 entered service in the early 1970s with the Soviet Army and was used intensively until the 1990s, as well as in numerous local conflicts across Eastern Europe and Asia. The mine roller was most often mounted on tanks such as the T-54, T-55, T-62, T-64, T-72, as well as on engineering vehicles like the BMR-1 and BMR-2. Its primary function was the mechanical detonation of anti-tank mines by means of a system of rollers that triggered the mine fuses at a safe distance in front of the vehicle. The KMT-7 played an important role during armed interventions in Afghanistan and conflicts in the Middle East, among others.
