Super fast build. Even the individual track links were quick and easy. Only needed one finger swipe of putty on one of the joints at the back of the turret. Super tiny. My wife asked if it was actually finished. When I said yes, she said it looked like a toy. Recommended but only if on sale. Retail is way too much for such a tiny kit.

Just picked this up, along with the SU-18 SPG, I built the Mod. 1927 T-18 in the past, so looking forward to both of these. 🙂

If you get right on them, you should have two new builds in no time. The SU-18 looks intriguing. I've been working my way through my stash of Soviet "T" series tanks in order (with the exception of the T-34 of which I have built several over the years). Almost done with the T-35. Interestingly, it has been way faster to build than the T-28 I completed not too long ago. Happy modeling!

Thanks! I'm rather fond of these early small tanks. ^-^

I bought this last week, Ill do it soon. Saying it looks like a toy, I told the missus it looked like a tank drawn by a 10 year old.

True! You could say the same for the T-28 or T-35 with their multiple turrets as well. It seems that in between the wars, nothing was too far fetched for the Soviet (and other countries) designers.

I mean, like many early inter-war light tanks, it's basically a spin on the incredibly popular Renault FT...

Yep, I heard that. I just think it's interesting the extremes some country's tank designers went to in such a short time from such simple beginnings.
