T-26 mod.1939 in 1/72 scale
| Name | T-26-1 version 1939 (Item No. 218) |
| Producer | Skif, Ukraine |
| Packing | soft cardboard with action drawing on foreside |
| Type of kit | polystyrene casting |
| 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. Contrarywise to model of older version is adden one frame with parts of newer konical turret and parts of hull. 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 Red Army in winter 1941 and captured tanks from Finland and Wehrmacht. Register of colours is outstanding. |
| General Impression & Note | High-quality model, though for somewhat high price. I can recommend it. |
