E.T. Model 1:35 Soviet T-26 Light Tank Mod.1931 is a photo-etched detail set for the plastic kit of the Soviet T-26 light tank, 1931 pattern. It is not a model of the tank, but a metal accessory for the build.
Responsibility details are not available.
A detail set of photo-etched parts in 1:35 scale intended for the plastic kit of the Soviet T-26 light tank in the 1931 pattern version. The metal parts replace the fenders, their flanges and stiffeners, the grilles, the tool brackets, the clamps and other small items that injection-molded plastic cannot make thin enough. On interwar vehicles with richly detailed fenders the effect is particularly marked. The set is not a kit in its own right and the base model is bought separately.
The T-26 was a Soviet light tank derived from the British six-ton type taken over under license. The 1931 pattern version still had two separate rotating turrets side by side, each with its own gunner, which followed from the thinking of the time about supporting the infantry with fire to both sides at once. Most of the vehicles carried machine guns in both turrets, and some had a 37 mm gun in one of them. The suspension with leaf springs and eight small road wheels per side became the basis for the whole later family of single-turret T-26 tanks. The twin-turret machines were still committed to action in the early 1940s, but by then they were obsolete.
The fenders take the most work. Cut the original plastic ones away first and sand the area flat, and only then glue the photo-etched ones on, otherwise they will not sit flush. Make the folds in a bender, and on long parts check that they are not twisted. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Degrease the metal and spray it with a primer. Interwar green looks better if you lighten it on the upper surfaces and add fine scuffing on the edges and dust on the suspension.
The package holds photo-etched parts, not a kit of the tank. The base model, glue and paints are not part of the delivery.
