Hobby Boss 83865 1/35 Soviet T-38 Link Track Model Kit  [HB-83865]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Scale T-38 Amphibious Light Tank 83865

Introduced before and used during the early years of World War II, the Soviet T-38 appeared in conflicts such as the Winter War of 1940. Its light armor and limited armament made it vulnerable in direct combat, so crews often reassigned T-38s to support duties like artillery towing. The kit captures that unusual role in compact scale.

Service Record and Modelling Focus

The T-38 suffered heavy losses in Operation Barbarossa and many were taken by opposing forces, yet the platform still found service in later operations including river crossings like the Dnieper in 1943. Model builders can emphasise the tank's hull contours and amphibious fittings to reflect its operational story.

Assembly Highlights and Parts Overview

This Hobby Boss release contains over 340 parts and benefits from multi-directional slide molding for crisp shapes. Included photo-etched parts and individual track links increase accuracy, making it a project that rewards steady hands and attention to detail.
