About product

BTM-3 (1:35, Trumpeter)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet BTM-3 high-speed trench digger in 1:35 scale from Trumpeter. The model is richly broken down, with a multi-part hull, individual (link-by-link) track links and photo-etched parts. Because of the large number of parts it is a demanding kit, suited to more experienced builders.

The real subject

The BTM-3 is a Soviet engineer trench-digging machine built on a tracked chassis derived from tank hardware. It served to dig trenches and shelters for soldiers and vehicles quickly: thanks to its powerful rotary digging wheel it could cut long trenches substantially faster than digging by hand. It was a typical piece of equipment of the engineer units that prepared field fortifications.

Building and painting tips

First assemble and paint the running gear and the link-by-link tracks, and only then finish the hull. The rotary digging wheel is the dominant feature, so give it attention and bring it out with weathering. Glue the parts with a thin plastic cement and the photo-etch with cyanoacrylate. After the base coat and the varnish, add strong mud and earth effects with pigments, which look natural on an earthmoving machine.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet engineer and support vehicles
  • Anyone interested in unusual tracked vehicles beyond the ordinary tanks
  • Advanced modelers who will appreciate a richly broken down kit
  • Fans of 1:35 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
