Tamiya 35318 1/35 Finnish BT-42 Assault Gun Kit - Collector and Builder Version  [35318]

Scale recreation of the Finnish BT-42 by Tamiya 35318

The BT-42 represents inventive wartime engineering, marrying a captured BT-7 hull with a British 4.5-inch howitzer turret. Tamiya's 1/35 kit preserves that story in accurate miniature, suitable for collectors and builders seeking authentic detail.

Rarity and model detail

With just a limited number produced historically, the BT-42 is an uncommon modelling subject. This kit highlights field modifications such as shortened fenders and added storage boxes, helping to convey the vehicle's adapted appearance.

Construction highlights and presentation

Photo-etched parts for the mantlet and engine grilles are supplied to boost surface fidelity. The kit offers choices for hatch positions and includes three decal options plus a standing crew figure for added realism on display or in a vignette.
