About product

Hobby Boss BT-2 (mid) 1:35 (plastic kit)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Soviet fast tank BT-2 in its mid production version in 1:35 scale from Hobby Boss. The model has a slide-molded hull and turret and photo-etched parts for fine detail are included. It is a compact armor kit with a straightforward build.

The real subject

The BT-2 was the first of the line of Soviet fast tanks BT (bystrokhodny tank, meaning fast tank), built from the beginning of the 1930s. It was based on the design of the American engineer Christie and its distinguishing feature was the ability to run both on tracks and, once they were removed, on its wheels, which gave it high speed on made-up roads. Light armor was offset by excellent mobility. The BT line was a development step toward the later T-34 tank.

Building and painting tips

Assemble and fine-tune the Christie suspension, the wheels and the tracks before painting. A primer, an airbrush and the uniform green shade typical of Soviet interwar equipment work well. Bring out the details with a wash in the seams, the edges with dry-brushing, and weather the running gear with pigments for dust and mud. Bond the photo-etched parts with super glue.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Soviet interwar equipment in 1:35
  • Lovers of the fast BT tanks and the predecessors of the T-34
  • Modelers who appreciate a compact armor kit
  • Advanced beginners as well as experienced builders

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

FAQ

Thanks to the Christie design it could run on tracks and, once they were removed, directly on its wheels, which gave it high speed on made-up roads.

The line of fast BT tanks, to which the BT-2 belongs, was the development step from which the famous medium tank T-34 later emerged.

It is a compact armor kit with a straightforward build; with ordinary experience you will manage it, and the photo-etched parts will be appreciated by more advanced modelers.
