Why this kit matters
The T-20 Komsomolets was an armoured artillery tractor used by the Soviet Union from about 1938. It was designed to tow light artillery (like the 45 mm anti-tank gun) and mortars, plus carry a small crew. It played supporting roles in the early years of World War II, especially in Soviet rifle divisions.
From a modelling standpoint, this HobbyBoss kit (No. 83847 / 83848 rebox) brings modern moulding quality to a vehicle that is often overlooked. The inclusion of many small parts, individual track links, photo-etched detail, and realistic surface detail give modellers a chance to create a highly accurate representation of a unique Soviet prime mover.
How to use it
Build using modelling glue, knives or cutters, sanding tools. Paint using acrylic or enamel paints (suggested colours: Russian green, metal tones, weathering tones). Trim parts, assemble tracks carefully (they are small!), apply decals and finish. Once complete, display on shelf, in diorama, or as part of a WW-II vehicle collection.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
