Hobby Boss 1/35 Russian T-40 Light Tank Kit Details

This 1/35 scale entry from Hobby Boss recreates the T-40 light tank with attention to the mechanical updates that marked its development. The model captures the shift to a welded hull and torsion-bar suspension, reflecting the evolution from the T-37 and T-38 series.

Why Model the T-40?

The T-40 offered improved hull protection thanks to its boat-shaped welded design and stepped up armament with a 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun, unlike the older 7.62mm DT. Builders receive a kit of over 300 parts, allowing for detailed assembly and accurate surface representation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Dimensions: Length 110mm, Width 65.5mm
  • Material: Plastic with brass wire
  • Part Count: 300+ parts
  • Photo-Etched Parts: Included

Construction Advice

Expect a rewarding build with multi-directional slide moulded parts and fine photo-etched details. The 182 separate track links are a highlight for modellers who prefer authentic, articulated track runs and realistic suspension layout.

Yes, the level of detail and historical accuracy make it suitable for club displays and contest entries, provided contributors have intermediate assembly skills.
Handle etched brass with care using fine tweezers and consider bending tools for accurate shaping. A small amount of CA glue bonds these parts effectively to plastic surfaces.
Some internal components and small details benefit from pre-painting, but plan for touch-ups after final assembly to blend joins and seams.
