MiniArt 35300 SOVIET RAILWAY WAGON “TEPLUSHKA” 1/35 – Plastic model kit of a Soviet railway wagon

MiniArt 35300 SOVIET RAILWAY WAGON “TEPLUSHKA” in 1/35 scale is an extremely detailed plastic model kit replicating one of the most characteristic railway wagons of the Red Army. The model is intended for advanced modellers seeking unique, realistic constructions from the World War II era. The “Teplushka” wagon, belonging to the freight-passenger wagon category, was widely used by the USSR both for transporting soldiers and military equipment.

Original wagons of this type were produced since the early 20th century, but they gained the greatest importance during World War II, when they were used on all Eastern fronts. They were adapted for transporting soldiers, horses, and also used as temporary quarters behind the front lines. What distinguished the “Teplushkas” was their stove heating, which set them apart from standard freight wagons. They served on railways of the Soviet Union as well as in areas occupied by the Red Army in Eastern Europe.
