Detailed Hobby Boss T-37A 1/35 Scale Model

The Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet T-37A Light Tank kit captures the compact profile of this WWII amphibious vehicle. Known as the first mass-produced fully amphibious tank, the T-37A served in reconnaissance and light support roles for Soviet forces.

Design Roots and Combat History

First built in the early 1930s with clear influence from British tankette concepts, the T-37A was deployed in several prewar and early war operations, including confrontations in Poland and Finland. Although many were lost in the initial phases of the wider conflict, the type remained useful in auxiliary roles into the mid 1940s.

Assembly Highlights and Detail Options

The set comprises over 320 parts with multi-directional slide-moulded sections for accurate geometry. Photo-etched parts and separate links for the tracks add realism, and the kit rewards careful assembly and paintwork with an authentic miniature result.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 109.8mm
  • Width: 59mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 320+
  • Total Sprues: 17 sprues and lower hull
  • Photo Etched Parts: 2 pieces
The kit uses individual track links which allow realistic sag and positioning, improving authenticity compared with one-piece tracks but requiring more time to assemble.
Aftermarket etched sets and resin details exist for popular 1/35 subjects. Check specialist suppliers for extra stowage, crew figures, or replacement etched parts to enhance this Hobby Boss 83819 kit.
Bend and fit etched parts using fine tweezers and a bending tool if available. Clean parts before priming and use thin cyanoacrylate or specialized super glue for secure attachment.
