Scale Model of the Multi-Turreted T-35

The T-35 is a standout example of pre-WWII tank design because of its multiple turrets and large footprint. This 1/35 scale kit captures the complex silhouette and mechanical detailing that make the vehicle so interesting to scale hobbyists.

Period Role and Modelling Interest

Intended as a showpiece of massed firepower, the T-35 traded mobility for armament. Many examples were sidelined by breakdowns rather than combat, and assembling the kit helps illustrate those trade-offs to builders and historians alike.

Parts, Detailing and Construction Notes

Containing over 630 pieces, the kit uses multi-part casting to achieve accurate turret and hull contours. Photo-etched parts are provided to refine small fittings, and the sprue organisation is designed to simplify subassembly and painting stages.

  • Scale - 1/35
  • Size - Length 281 mm, Width 98 mm
  • Number of parts - 630+
  • Sprues included - 20 sprues with lower hull, upper hull and turret parts
  • Photo-etched components - 2 pieces

What level of modelling skill suits the Hobby Boss HB-83842 kit?

This kit is best for modellers with intermediate to advanced skills because of the detailed small parts and photo-etch work. Beginners can build it but should expect a longer, more careful build process.

Does the kit include decals and marking options?

Decal contents vary by release; check the kit box or instructions for included markings. Many builders add aftermarket decal sheets to represent specific units or weathering variations.

Any tips for working with the photo-etched parts?

Handle etched parts with care, use a sharp cutter, and pre-bend them to shape with fine pliers. Secure them with superglue and consider using primer to improve paint adhesion.

How should I approach painting large flat surfaces on this kit?

Prime large areas first to reveal fit issues, then use thin coats of enamel or acrylic with an airbrush for even coverage. Panel lines and weathering can be added after the base coat to enhance depth.
