1:72 Russian T-34 flame-throwing tank with FOG-1

T-34 with the FOG-1 flame projector in 1:72 scale from UM

A plastic kit of the Soviet T-34 medium tank in the version with FOG-1 flamethrower equipment, in 1:72 scale from the Ukrainian manufacturer UM. The plastic moldings are supplemented by a decal sheet. It is a tiny scale that collectors of Soviet armor of the Second World War will appreciate.

The real subject

The T-34 tank was the basic Soviet medium tank of the Second World War, valued for its armor, its sloped plates and its mobility. The FOG-1 system was a single-purpose flame projector that supplemented the armament of the vehicle for fighting against fortifications and infantry. The combination of a T-34 with this equipment is among the less common versions.

Building and painting tips

Separate the tiny parts from the sprue gates carefully and glue them with liquid cement for plastic. Assemble and paint the running gear before closing up the hull. An airbrush and a primer suit the painting; mud and dust effects on the running gear are created with washes and pigments.
