BT-5 in 1/72 scale

 

Name Wheel Track Tank BT-5 (Item.n. 301)
Producer  UM (Ukraine) with cooperation of IBG (Poland)
Packing Cover is made from soft cardboard with relatively nice picture of moving tank on the foreside. On the back side is picture of one cammouflage version
Type of kit plastic injected kit
Quality Mouldings are made from hard green plastic. When you‘ll look at frames for the first time, you‘ll find who is unknown producer UM – it‘s well-known Ukraine‘s (now don‘t existing) producer SKIF. All of the parts (93 pieces) are moulded in high quality, without errors. The only mistake of this kit are shut hatches on the top of turret. Opposite to the older kits (T-26 series) now producer made tracks not from soft vynil, but (great news!) from hard plastic. Model also contains a little sheet with 11 PE parts.
Instruction sheet Instruction sheet is again typical SKIF one, but for beginners is somwhat chaotic.
Decals Decals are also very quality made, the‘re for 4 versions of tank : 3 Soviet (pre-war, from occupation of East Poland 1939 and from the Summer of 1941) and one of Spanish Nacionalists from Civil War ( but Spanish Nacionalist Forces captured and used only very few of this tanks, so it‘d be better to make a version of Republican Forces. here you can use decals from T-26 mod. 1933 kit ).
General Impression & Note Very nice kit, almost without mistakes. I can recomend it.
