OT-130 Chemical Tank conversion kit

20GMV006
We've just made available a conversion kit for converting our 1/72 T-26 mod. B tank into a Soviet OT-130 flamethrower tank. This consists of a small set of resin parts that can be adapted onto our T-26 hard plastic kit. As it can be guessed by its configuration, this set is also suitable for other makes' own T-26, thanks to the rectangular resin platform allowing kit to have its turret balanced to the right side --unlike "normal" T-26s, that had it balanced to the left.

Here below you have some captions on what does this tank look like, once superbly painted by the talented Heresy Brush:

A first batch of OT-130 flamethrower tanks is already available from this particular page in Minairons website.

Hello,

This T-26 variant wasn't used in SCW, but is own to Winter War and early WWII instead. The white and blue bands on turret are Finnish markings --alternative to the well-known hakarísti cross of that country.
