Why this kit matters
The T-50 light infantry tank was a Soviet design intended to provide closer support to infantry during the early years of World War II. Its design included sloped armour, torsion bar suspension, and a 45 mm main gun with two machine guns. Only about 60-70 units were produced, due to complexity, cost, and changing battlefield needs.
From a modelling perspective, the HobbyBoss 83827 kit brings modern tooling and precision to a relatively rare subject. The inclusion of photo-etched parts, multi-slide moulded turret & lower hull, and realistic track links make it stand out among light tank kits. It’s ideal for modellers who want both historical authenticity and display potential.
How to use it
Cut parts from sprues with a sprue cutter or hobby knife. Clean parts, remove mould lines. Glue parts with plastic cement. Paint using colours appropriate to Soviet WWII tanks (greens, dark tones, metal parts). Use decals from the sheet after painting. Due to many small parts and individual track links, patience and good lighting help. Display once finished-ideal in diorama settings or as centrepiece in an armour display..
