1/35 T-37 Amphibious Light Tank Model Kit

The T-37A was a Soviet amphibious light tank. The tank was first created in 1932, based on the British Vickers tankette and other operational amphibious tanks. The T-37A was the first series of mass-produced fully amphibious tanks in the world. In the Red Army, they were used to perform tasks in communication, reconnaissance, and as defense units on the march, as well as active infantry support on the battlefield. The T-37A were used in large numbers during the Soviet invasion of Poland and in the Winter War against Finland. The T-37A was also used by the Soviets in the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, bus most of them were quickly lost. Surviving tanks of that type fought on the front lines until 1944, and were used in training and auxiliary defense until the end of World War II. This kit consists of parts molded in green and brown plastic, and includes decals and photo-etched parts. Completed model measures 109.8mm long and 59mm wide.
