Kit um303 - Artillery Tank D-38 (Tank BT-2 w/A-43 turret)
BT-5
This is not a 'new' manufacturer, but rather a new name for kits produced in a partnership between Skif in the Ukraine and IBG in Poland. 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.
BT-2
This of course, is the same kit as the BT-5 but with different decals and the small sprue containing the turret and gun (both are smaller on the BT-2). In all, there are 102 crisp, clean injection moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks) with good detail (a few sink holes, but they are on the inside and won't be seen)....a small photo etched fret (engine grills etc.) and the decals, which have markings for three Soviet BT-2s.
SU76 SPG (SU12?) closed version
Up to the usual Unimodel (Skif) high standards, this much anticipated kit has six sprues of 109 crisp, clean injection moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks), a small photo etched fret and a set of decals with markings for two
Soviet SU-76s. All road wheels and suspension arms are moulded separately, while the four part hull has two optional position hatches (but no interior detail). The upper hull is nicely detailed and a number of accessories are supplied, including tool boxes, a spot light and tow hook.
T-70
This is the second release from the Skif/IBG 'Unimodel' partnership and it looks just as good as the first (the BT-5). There are 107 'long run' injection moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks) with fine raised detail. There's
also a small fret of photo etched parts and a decal sheet with markings for three tanks (one is shown in a colour three view on the back of the box). All road wheels and suspension arms are separate mouldings, the gun and turret are designed to move and upper hull accessories include ammo boxes, lights, towing hook and a spare wheel. While there is no interior detail there are optional position hatched in the turret and at the front of the upper hull.
T-80
Virtually the same kit as the T-70M but with a larger (two hatch) turret and gun...and different decals. As with the T-70 there are 107 'long run' injection moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks) with fine raised detail. There's also a small fret of photo etched parts. The decal sheet has markings for just the one Soviet tank (a colour three view is on the back of the box). All road wheels and suspension arms are separate mouldings, the gun and turret are designed to move and
upper hull accessories include ammo boxes, lights, towing hook and a spare wheel. While there is no interior detail there are optional position hatched in the turret and at the front of the upper hull.
SU76M SPG - open version
Same road wheels, 'link and length' tracks, lower hull and gun as the SU-76 but the rest is all new. Not only is there the new upper hull, with it's 'open' rear section but it's fully detailed along with ammo boxes and 31 rounds of ammunition. The back section of the gun is now included and it's fully detailed as well. In all there are 150 crisp, clean injection moulded parts with nice raised detail, a small photo etched fret and a set of decals with markings for four vehicles (all 1944).
ZSU-37 (1944 version)
A dozen or so parts make this versionslightly different from the ZSU-37 1943, released a while ago. You now get 129 crisp, clean, injection moulded parts (with good raised detail)...including 'link and length' tracks, separate road wheels and suspension arms. The 'open' gun turret is fully detailed and there's an optional position driver's compartment hatch. The decal sheet has markings for just the one vehicle.
BT7 M1935
Same kit as the BT-5 but with a different upper hull, decals and etched set. There are 105 crisp, clean injection moulded parts (including 'link and length' tracks) with fine raised detail. The decal sheet has markings for two vehicles...Khasan lake 1938 and Khalkhin-Gol river 1939. The etched fret has engine grill covers. As with the BT-5, all road wheels are moulded separately (but not the suspension arms) and the turret is moveable.
RBT-5 with Rockets
This is the rocket launcher version of the BT-5 ... so the kit is a re-issue of the BT-5 wheel/track tank, but with an extra 20 parts which provide you with two rockets and their launcher/mounts, to fit on each side of the turret. In all, there are 117 crisp, clean injection moulded parts (with nice raised detail), a small photo etched fret (including engine grills) and a comprehensive instruction sheet...but no decals. Tracks are of the link and length variety, all raod wheels are separate
moundings and the turret and gun are both moveable. There are no optional position hatches.
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-10 armoured car
This is the first Unimodel kit not to included photo etched parts...but you do get rubber tyres (12 of them). Along with the tyres, there are 82 crisp, clean injection
moulded parts with restrained raised detail ... and a small decal sheet with markings for three vehicles. There is no engine or interior detail and no optional position
hatches...however, there is good chassis detail with separate wheels, brake drums, axles, suspension, drive shafts, exhaust, transmission and sump. The turret is
moveable but not the guns. Accessories include two rear mud guard mounted storage boxes and side mounted spare wheel.
BA-6 armoured car
Similar to the BA-10 but not the same...a different shaped body and turret. There are 78 ( 57 of them are 'common' with the BA-10 kit) crisp, clean, injection
moulded parts, 12 rubber tyres and a set of decals with markings for two Soviet vehicles (one from 1938, the other...1943). As with the BA-10, there is no interior
detail nor optional position doors or hatches but the turret is moveable and the underside has reasonable detail.
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
two vehicles...one from 1935, the other from 1941.

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.
