Mirage Hobby 72605 AT-1 Assault Gun (1/72) – Plastic Model of the Soviet Assault Gun

The Mirage Hobby 72605 AT-1 Assault Gun 1/72 scale plastic model kit is a faithfully reproduced set representing the experimental AT-1 assault gun, developed in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s. This model fits into the category of plastic armored vehicle model kits from the interwar period and is an interesting choice for collectors of historical scale modeling.

The AT-1 was an attempt to create a modern self-propelled infantry support gun based on the chassis of the popular T-26 tank. The first prototypes were built in 1935-1936 and were fitted with a 76.2 mm gun. Despite intensive design work, the project never entered mass production – only a few units were made, which were mainly tested in field conditions, providing valuable experience for the development of Soviet self-propelled support guns. Although the AT-1 never saw combat, it is an excellent example of interwar innovation in Soviet armored vehicle design.
