Voyager Model PE35617 Modern Russian Object 279 Heavy Tank – upgrade set for Amusing Hobby 35A001 1/35

We offer a professional upgrade set Voyager Model PE35617 Modern Russian Object 279 Heavy Tank designed for the Amusing Hobby 35A001 plastic model, in the popular 1/35 scale. This set is specifically created to enhance the model of the Soviet super-heavy Object 279 tank – one of the most unique and futuristic armored vehicles from the Cold War era.

The Object 279 tank was developed in the USSR at the end of the 1950s, during the Cold War, as an experimental super-heavy vehicle capable of operating in challenging conditions, including contaminated, muddy, and snowy terrains. It stood out due to its unique design: a flattened hull with four parallel tracks and characteristic armor protecting against the shockwave of a nuclear explosion. Although the prototype survives to this day, it never entered mass production. The surviving vehicle is displayed at the tank museum in Kubinka near Moscow.

• Scale: 1/35
• Country of use: Soviet Union (Russia)

The set includes precisely crafted photo-etched elements – perfect for replicating the most detailed parts of the model: grilles, handles, shield details, meshes, and small equipment components. The thinness and flexibility of the metal allows authentic rendering of the tiniest details, impossible to achieve with plastic. The set does not include the plastic base model, but it does come with a detailed assembly manual.

We recommend the Voyager Model PE35617 set for experienced modelers looking to elevate their replica to a master class level. Assembly difficulty: 4/5 (advanced), requiring precision and skill in working with photo-etched metal. It is the perfect choice for enthusiasts of Soviet armored vehicles, Cold War aficionados, and collectors of unique experimental vehicles.
