Rubicon T26 Soviet Light Tank

Rubicon released the the Soviet T-26 light tank last year. It is an extremely versatile kit, allowing you to build one of ten variants.

It comes in the standard Rubicon box.

There are three sprues. This is the chassis sprue.

This sprue has the mid series turret, plus the wheels for a Soviet heavy armoured car which also uses the same turret.

The final sprue has the twin turrets and the late model turret

There is an extensive instruction booklet and a set of decals.

I decided to build the late model 1939 version.

The turret features the mounting points for the aerial.

It also has the rear ball mounted machine gun.

Now, in January 1939 the machine gun on the back of the turret was deleted.
