Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Early). HOBBY BOSS 83851

Assembly plastic kit of a Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Early version). Photo-etched parts included.

The Soviet T-28 was among the world's first Medium tanks. The prototype was completed in 1931 and production began in late 1932. It was an infantry-support tank intended to break through fortified defenses. The type didn't have that much success in combat, but it played an important role as a development project for the Soviet designers. A series of new ideas and solutions were tried out on the T-28 and were later incorporated in future models.
