- Information on the new 1/72 WW.II Soviet HBT-5 chemical tank injection kit from UMmt in Ukraine.
- BT tanks are a series of tanks developed by the Soviet Union before World War II, [BT] is an acronym for [Быстрый танк], which means [fast tank] in Russian, [fast chariot].
- The BT design is derived from the M1928 tank, which had a new suspension system [Christie suspension] developed by American John W. Christie.
- Although the M1928 tank was only used in small numbers in the United States, cruiser tanks and fast tanks that inherited his ideas were developed in Britain and the Soviet Union.
- In particular, the Soviet army, which was seeking a high-speed tank based on the new tank doctrine, purchased the Christie tank and conducted repeated tests to develop the BT-2. We produced the turret-type BT-4, the BT-5 with a larger turret, and the improved BT-7 with enhanced armor and engines.
- HBT-5 is a vehicle that redesigned the body of BT-5 to protect the crew from toxic gases, etc., and only a prototype vehicle was made as a [Science Tank (Flame Thrower Tank)].
- This kit comes with a new injection parts fighting compartment, link & length tracks, and photo-etched parts.
- The total length will be approximately 78mm when completed.
