Trumpeter 07155 Soviet Object 268 1/72 – Plastic model kit

Trumpeter 07155 Soviet Object 268 in 1/72 scale is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit representing the Soviet experimental heavy tank destroyer “Object 268.” This is a unique model kit set focused on the detailed recreation of the historic Cold War vehicle’s construction.

Historical Description and Usage

The model is based on the prototype of a Soviet tank developed in the 1950s, when the Soviet Union was intensively developing new armored designs. Object 268 was built on the chassis of the heavy T-10 tank, and its main armament was the powerful 152 mm M-64 gun, designed specifically to destroy enemy tanks and fortifications. A unique feature of the vehicle was its stereoscopic rangefinder, which significantly increased firing accuracy. Despite its advanced design and impressive specifications, Object 268 never advanced beyond the prototype phase—only a few units were built and never entered mass production. One of them can be admired today in the famous Kubinka Tank Museum.
