About product

T-26 Finlandia-45 in 1:72 scale from Mirage Hobby

An injection-molded plastic kit of the T-26 light tank in the Finnish form from the end of the war. The box captures the late shape with the conical turret. For this box the manufacturer gives new molds for the turret and the wheels, a lower hull shared with its 7TP tank line and a decal sheet for one Finnish vehicle. Check the contents of the package on the box.

The real subject

The T-26 was a Soviet light tank derived from the British Vickers 6-Ton and in the 1930s the most numerous tank in the world. Finland fought against it in the Winter War and then took dozens of captured vehicles into its own service, which made the T-26 the most widespread Finnish tank. The Finns modified them to suit their own needs and kept them in action until the fighting ended in 1944. The standard armament of the vehicles with the conical turret was a 45 mm gun.

Building and painting tips

In 1:72 scale clean work decides everything: level the sprue gate marks before they end up under the paint, because every one of them shows on a small model. Join the one-piece flexible tracks with super glue. Spray the Finnish three-tone camouflage in thin coats and at low pressure so that the transitions stay soft. Settle the decals over a gloss clear coat and flatten them only once the weathering is done.

Who the model is for

  • modelers of Finnish subjects and of the fighting in northern Europe
  • anyone interested in captured and remarked equipment
  • builders in 1:72 scale looking for an unusual light tank
  • collectors of the T-26 line and its derivatives

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

FAQ

Finland captured dozens of Soviet T-26s during the Winter War and took them into its own service. The vehicles received Finnish markings and partial modifications; this box captures the late shape with the conical turret.

Vehicles with the conical turret had a 45 mm gun as standard. Which barrel this box holds is stated on the packaging and in the instructions.

There are few parts and the build is straightforward, but the small scale forgives fewer mistakes in the clean-up. For a first or second model it is a reasonable choice.

Join the one-piece flexible tracks with super glue; cement for plastic will not bond them.
