Product Description
- The D-37 armored railway car was developed in 1932 for railroad patrol and reconnaissance of armored trains.
- The hull was constructed of 6-12 mm welded armor plates and was fitted with a 40 horsepower Ford engine.
- The armament consisted of an anti-aircraft gun mount equipped with a 7.62mm DT machine gun and twin Maxim machine guns at the rear of the vehicle, covered by a folding hatch that could be opened in combat to fire the machine guns. Various types of turrets were tested.
- The carriages were also equipped with a special device that allowed them to move onto a parallel track if the track they were traveling on was damaged or needed to be cleared for the passage of a train.
- The D-37, with a crew of six, a weight of 8 tons and a maximum speed of 75 km/h, was expected to be a vehicle capable of independent operation at high speeds, and although it cleared the target figures during testing, it did not go into mass production.
- The kit comes with track parts, etched parts and decals.
- Some parts are 3D printed.
