The Hobby Boss OT-130 in 1/35 scale depicts a T-26 based vehicle converted to mount a flamethrower, providing a compact and distinctive modelling subject. This kit gives clear components that reflect the original machine's external features and mounting arrangements.
The OT-130 is an example of specialised armoured engineering of its time, intended for close support roles. The kit reproduces key elements like the turret conversion and flame projector area, and includes small fittings that add to the build realism. Builders who like unusual armoured types will find it rewarding.
Work steadily on the smaller parts and maintain tidy seams for the best result; the moulded detail highlights rivets and hull panels well. A careful paint scheme and modest weathering will enhance the tank's character. Finished models display nicely on stands or within a small battlefield vignette.
