Trumpeter 01581 Soviet T-64B MOD 1975 (1/35)

The Trumpeter 01581 Soviet T-64B MOD 1975 model is a faithfully reproduced plastic scale model of the tank in 1:35 scale. It's perfect for fans of realistic dioramas and collectors of armored vehicles from the Cold War era. The model represents the 1975 version of the T-64B—an advanced Soviet main battle tank produced by the Kharkov plant under the direction of designer Aleksandr A. Morozov, who continued the T-54 legend. A hallmark of the T-64B is the automatic loader for the 125mm main gun, which allowed for a reduced crew and vehicle mass, as well as enabling the tank to fire guided anti-tank missiles directly from the gun barrel.

The T-64B entered service with the Soviet Army and was not exported to other countries, being used primarily by elite units stationed in Eastern Europe—East Germany (Group of Soviet Forces in Germany) and Hungary (Southern Group of Forces). This model was introduced into service between 1976–1985, during the peak of the Cold War. The T-64B significantly exceeded earlier designs in terms of armor, mobility, and combat capabilities, remaining a key part of Soviet armored potential until the introduction of the T-72B.
