Trumpeter 00341 T-55 KMT-5 1/35 scale plastic kit Finnish Army  [TP00341]

Trumpeter 00341 — 1/35 scale T-55 (Finnish) with KMT-5

This 1/35 plastic model kit recreates a Finnish Army T-55 fitted with the KMT-5 mine-trawl assembly, designed as a display subject for modellers of Cold War armour.

The T-55 was developed in the Soviet Union after the Second World War and became a prevalent Cold War main battle tank. Many operators adapted the hull to local requirements; the KMT-5 trawl, introduced in the 1960s, enhanced mine-clearing by detonating or disturbing antitank mines ahead of the tracks. Finnish vehicles were modified with engineering equipment for clearance duties.

The scale kit highlights the T-55 external surfaces and the KMT-5 assembly. Accurate assembly work and paint application are necessary to represent the fitted engineering gear convincingly. Builders should consult reference photos for authentic finish and weathering. The kit is intended for display builds with the trawl installed on the vehicle, not as an isolated accessory.

A dedicated 1/35 reproduction of a T-55 equipped with KMT-5 mine-clearing gear, suited to modellers seeking authentic Cold War armour displays.
