Quality

Mouldings from dark green polystyrene are lay-out into 3 frames. Model in compare for its small proportions is made by almost surprising quantity of parts. Most of them fall on relatively complicated undercarriage. Parts are molded slightly and in good quality, with corresponding details. Component of model is also relatively big plate of photo-etched parts (mudguards, various covers, antenna for commander's version etc.). Tracks are unfortunately vinyl, but made already conensted, so that is only need to thread them on finished undercarriage. Another insufficiency of model is fact, that covers on tower they are design in one with tower. Driver's cover is contrariwise moulded separately. Accuracy model is very good.

Instruction sheet Instruction is very well processed, detailed and well-arranged.
Decals Relatively big decalcomania sheet offers possibility for finishing T-26 of prewar Red Army, republican and nationalist Spain and Finland. Register of colours is outstanding.
General Impression & Note High-quality model, though for somewhat high price. I can recommend it.
