BT-5
The BT-5 kit consists of four sprues of 99 finely moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks) with very nice raised detail. Also included is a small photo etched fret with grills and a few other 'details' and a set of decals with markings for three vehicles.
All road wheels and suspension arms are moulded separately with 13 pieces to each 'track' (you have the option of assembling the tank with tracks or just with wheels). The six parts turret and gun (both are moveable) has an optional position rear access door but all other hatches (on the turret and upper hull) are moulded in the closed position....there is no interior detail.

T26 with turret A43
With Unimodel kits being made by Skif in the Ukraine, it's not surprising this is a re-issue of the Skif T-26...still with the vinyl tracks but with the addition a small photo etched fret... as well as the new 'A-43' turret (designed by N.Dyrenkov). In all, there are 108 injection moulded parts, the two vinyl tracks and the etched set (no decals). All road wheels are separate mouldings (hence the high number of parts) and the upper hull has optioinal position hatches...but
no interior detail. The turret, which also has an optional position hatch, is moveable but the gun isn't.
T26-4 Artillery Tank
Another version of the original Skif T-26 kit, this is virtaully the same as the Unimodel T-26 w/A-43 turret, but with an enlarged turret, a KT canon and two DT machine guns. There are 109 crisp, clean injection moulded parts, a small photo etched fret and two 'vinyl' tracks...but no decals.
T-26 'twin turret' 1931 version)
Another re-issue of the old Skif T-26 ('rubber band' tracks) but with a new 'twin turret' sprue. The rest of the kit is pretty much the same ...125 injection moulded
parts (separate road wheels and suspension arms), a small photo etched fret and a decal sheet with markings for three tanks (2x Soviet, 1x Finnish).

BA-3 armoured car
This is just a re-issue of the BA-6, with a couple of detail changes to the upper body shell...so minor they are hard to notice! The new decal sheet has markings for

BT-2 w/machineguns
This likes a re-issue of the original Unimodel BT-2 (kit number 302) but there are some differences...most of the parts are identical, instead of the 37mm canon you use the two machine guns (supplied
in both kits). The other more important difference are, besides the box art and instructions, this kit include the original BT-2 wheels (not the BT-5 wheels) and the decal sheet which now has markings for one Moscow based BT-2 (1933) and one
Belarus based tank from 1936. The kit has link and length tracks, separate road wheels, etched grills and moveable turret and guns.

Armored self-propelled railroad car D-37 with D-38 turret was developed in USSR in 1932. It was designed for railroad tracks protection as well as scout car for armored trains. D-37 had unibody welded from 6-12 mm armored plates. 40 h.p. Ford engine was located in the lower part while armament was located at the top. It was manned by 6 troops. D-37 was able to move with the same speed forward as well as backwards. Armament consisted of 76mm (1927) gun and two side machine guns (DT). Anti-aircraft weapon station with twin 'Maxim' machine guns was fitted in the rear of the compartment closed by two-part hatch. The hatch was opened for combat and station was raised up. It was never entered production but served as a base for more advanced armored car DT-45.
Armored self-propelled railroad car DT-45 was developed in USSR in 1933 by modernization of it's predecessor D-37. It was designed for railroad tracks protection as well as scout car for armored trains. Cylindrical turret from T-26 tank with 45 mm gun was fitted to the unchanged hull of D-37. Radio set 71TK with rail antenna was also installed. It was manned by 7 troops. To improve mobility special equipment was installed to allow DT-45 to be easily transferred on to parallel track. It was successfully tested but never went into production because of shortage of manufacturing abilities. However, experimental units were used for training up to the beginning of WWII.

The OB-3 light armored train was an attempt by the Red Army to reconstitute the armored train forces quickly and inexpensively after the severe losses of 1941. The artillery cars are on simple two-axle wagons with only a single turret.
Armored train.
In Soviet Union from the beginning of the Second World War and till the end of 1941 armored trains were intensively manufactured. As a rule, they were
built on the locomotive and car-repair factories, and in various railway depots from the improvised materials and accessories. Very often parts of
the tanks broken in fights were applied to construction of armored trains. From a few tens of the built armored trains the main part was of the
OB-3 type (facilitated).
The armored train "Railroader" was made in Moscow depot in December 1941. It was the typical representative of this kind. It consisted of 4 armored platforms (armored carriages), constructed on the basis of 20 ton platforms, with one tank turret (?-26) on each of them, and of armored locomotive of type ?? which was put in the middle of structure between two pairs of platforms. This train was armored by plates in the thickness of 20-30mm (steam locomotive) and 30-40mm (carriages) from ordinary constructional steel. It was passed in structure of 23 battalions under ?1 at the beginning of 1942. The crew of the armored train consisted of 60-80 people.
It took part in battle operations and was in a field army till the end of the Second World War. Experience of application in fights of such armored trains has revealed many lacks, especially weak air forces protection; however they have served as a prototype for creation in further of more perfect constructions of the armored trains.
OB-3 armored railway carriage with T-26(1933) turret.
Armoured carriages with double turrets of type OB-3 were built at the station Lihobory (Okruzhnaya railway) at the end of 1941. They have been constructed of metal frameworks of biaxial 20 ton railway platforms sheathed with the (27+18) mm ordinary constructional steel by two-layer sheets. On a roof of such armoured carriage were mounted two turrets of tank T-26 (1933). In each turret have been set 45 mm tank gun (21-K) and coupled with it 7.62 mm DT machine gun. Besides there were two onboard DT machine guns, set in trunnion balls, one on each side. Ammunition consisted of some hundred shells and some thousand cartridges. The crew of such carriage consisted of 12-15 fighters. These armoured carriages were a part of Red Army armoured train of No.1, 23 ODBP, which was taking part in the Second World War in fights at the Volkhov front 1942-43.
Panzerzug Typ OB-3 No.1, 23 Division
In der Anfangsperiode des Grossen Vaterländischen Krieges wurden in der USSR die Panzerzüge in vielen Eisenbahndepots, Wagen- und Lokomotivfabriken
und Betrieben intensiv gebaut. Es wurde beliebige vorhandene Materialien und die Komponenten verwendend. In Folge der unwiederbringlichen Verluste
der Panzern, besonders leichter wurde häufig für den Bau von der Panzerplattform die Türme und die Ausrüstung der beschlagenen Panzern verwendet.
Der Panzerzug Typ OB-3 No.1, 23 Division war in der UdSSR im Dezember 1941- Januar 1942 aufgebaut.. Er bestand aus 2 Zweiturm- Panzerplattformen,
aufgebaut auf Basis von 20- Tonnen Eisenbahnplattformen, und ebenso Panzerzug Typ OB. Panzerdampflok wurde zwischen Panzerplattformen aufgestellt,
auf dem Tender der Dampflokomotive wurde das Maschinengewehr DschK ( 12.7 mm ) für den Kampf mit den Flugzeugen des Gegners instaliert.
Außerdem wurden in der Regel vorn und hinter den Zug die Kontrollplatformen mit den Ersatzschienen und den Sandsäcken gestellt. In der Kämpftruppe
hatte dieser Panzerzug den inoffiziellen Titel "Igel" Dieser Panzerzug No.1, 23 Division von 12.1941 bis 12.1942; No.604 von 12.1942 bis 10. 1943; No.620
von 10.1943 bis 05.1945) nahm am Kampf auf der Wolchowski Front teil und befand sich in der aktive Armee bis zum Ende des Grossen
Vaterländischen Kriegs.
Biaxial 20 ton platform (short- 6.6 m )
Two axle flat open wagon cars were used before the war for different type of cargo up to 20 tons. In wartime they were used as pilot cars placed in front and behind armored train (sometimes few of them). Their purpose was to protect armored cars and locomotive from mines. Pilot car heavily loaded with sandbags detonated mines leaving the rest of the train untouched. Pilot car had composite chassis from metal and wood placed over axles on leaf springs. All 4 sides could be dropped on hinges. Depending on purpose floor and sides could be metal or wood construction and were equipped with pneumatic brakes. They were often used as a chassis for light armored cars and air-defense stations.
