The kit captures the Soviet OT-133 flame-throwing tank in 1:72 scale. It is made by the Ukrainian brand UM, which focuses on armored vehicles and artillery weapons and whose models tend to be divided into a fairly large number of small parts. The package contains injection-molded plastic parts; the model is neither glued nor painted. The 1:72 scale means a compact finished model with which a whole range of variants of one chassis can be displayed in a small area.
The OT-133 is one of the flame-throwing forms of the T-26 light tank. The basic idea was simple: in place of part of the armament and the ammunition, a tank of incendiary mixture was built into the vehicle and a flamethrower replaced the gun in the turret. The vehicle kept the chassis and the hull of the original type, so at first glance it differs from the standard version above all in the turret and the layout of the equipment. Light tanks of this range made up a numerous part of the Soviet armored units before the Second World War and served as the basis for many derived forms.
In 1:72 scale the parts of the running gear are very small, so work over a light surface and use tweezers. Glue the wheels and the bogies in one go and check as you work that they lie in one plane, otherwise the track will not sit down. The fenders tend to be thicker in plastic than scale would suggest, and it pays to thin their edges with abrasive paper. Glue with a thin cement for plastic, drop by drop. Apply the paint with an airbrush in thin coats, because in a small scale a heavy coat quickly fills the fine surface detail in. Keep the weathering more restrained than in large scales, otherwise the model looks dirty rather than dusty.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
