Why this kit matters
The T-40S was an evolution of the earlier T-37 and T-38 amphibious tanks, featuring a more robust torsion-bar suspension system and a fully welded hull. Introduced in 1939, the T-40S was designed for reconnaissance and amphibious operations, though its thin armour and limited armament restricted its combat effectiveness. Approximately 700 units were produced before production ceased in 1941.
This model kit offers an opportunity to build a detailed replica of this unique Soviet vehicle, capturing its distinctive features and historical significance.
