T-40

Name T-40 Soviet light amphibious tank (Item No. MV 001)

Producer Planet Models, Czech Republic

Packing carton box with b/w picture on the top

Type of kit Resin kit + soft plastic tracks + photo etched brasses

Quality All resin parts of the kit are very well cast with no bubbles and flashes. You have to remove relatively big sprues only. The turret as well as the hull is cat with closed hatches unfortunately. The resin parts do not include fine details (for example rivets). The trucks are cast of relatively hard soft plastic therefore it could be problem to shape them. It will be necessary to dip them into hot water before shaping probably. On the other hand it should be simpler to stick them. The kit includes the photo-etched brass parts including the sprockets for chassis, the fenders and parts of water drive.

Instruction sheet graphical assembly instructions including one camouflage schema

Decals no

General Impression
& Note
This model of T 40 tank is realized in very good quality and the assembly of this kit should be very simple and quick.

Soviet tanks produced before WW2 or during its first years are not so known. Kit producers due to this reason maybe forget them. So I’m sure that this kit will make happy any builder of small scale models or dioramas.
