Hobby Boss 83873 - 1/35 Soviet T-18 Light Tank MOD1927: Modelling Brief

This Hobby Boss 83873 kit reproduces the Soviet T-18 Light Tank MOD1927 in 1/35 scale, offering faithful styling for a classic interwar vehicle. The model provides a solid platform for research, construction, and display.

Context and Collector Interest

The T-18, or MS-1 in some references, marked an early step in Soviet armoured vehicle production. The MOD1927 variant shows characteristic structural choices of the period, which this kit highlights for scale enthusiasts.

Build Workflow and Final Presentation

Expect a build that rewards patience: parts require trimming, fitting and glue. Model makers with intermediate skills will appreciate the accurate proportions, and the finished piece fits well into a historical grouping or standalone display.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Parts Count: Detailed components
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks and plastic cement are essential. Pin vises and fine files help with precise fitting of small parts.
This kit is designed as a static scale model and lacks provisions for factory RC conversion. Converting to RC would require significant modification and custom mounting work.
The kit provides a sound visual reference for the MOD1927 layout and is suitable for display and study, though specialist references should be consulted for detailed restorations or scale corrections.
