Our 1:100th scale T-26 tank is taking shape. This is what our second testing injection batch looks like.
Here you can see some pictures for comparison. At left, our twin-turreted model A from the first batch; in the
middle, a model M from Zvezda; and at right a model B from our second batch. All dimensions are consistent with those of the Zvezda model,
except for the mudguards: ours are 0.5mm wider --or theirs 0.5mm narrower! So happens with tracks too.
Minairons' 1/100 T-26 tank will be released on September 11th as a boxed set. It will include 5
plastic tanks, besides of a decals sheet with markings for up to 5 Russian, 5 Finnish, 5 Turkish, 5 Spanish Republican and 5 Spanish Nationalist
tanks.

This is very god news, I will need to get some for our upcoming battles!
Someone has just placed a question -but perhaps later has erased it. His question was:
"Which versions were used during the SCW, and how many of each? I can find that 281were shipped to Spain, but not the versions."
Answer: all the T-26 delivered by Russia were the obr. 1933 version -that is, our model "B".
Besides, the Republic managed to purchase one twin-turreted Vickers from a South American country (Uruguay?), but this was most likely modified at the arrival, so as to have a regular T-26 turret.
There is no record of other T-26/Vickers variants in the SCW.
