Trumpeter 05541 1/35 Soviet IT-1 Tactical Model Kit  [TP05541]

Authentic Reproduction: Trumpeter 05541 1/35 IT-1 Missile Tank

The Trumpeter 1/35 representation of the Soviet IT-1 highlights a short-lived Cold War tank experiment built on the T-62 hull and armed with 3M7 Drakon missiles. Real-world service was brief from 1968 to 1970 due to limitations such as a significant deadzone and restricted ammunition stowage. This kit appeals to builders who enjoy niche historical subjects.
