Their earlier taxi & soldiers together in one box - slightly glamourised? Would they have their bayonets fixed? 2 men ( with flag ) on the roof? Almost looks like it's a model of a propaganda painting! - not that there's anything wrong with that

Interesting.....I think I heard a rumour Trumpeter are having a crack at this variant too??

[Dave Ward]

HobbyBoss and Trumpeter are essentially the same company - hence the shared Facebook page - I don't know how these makers choose their products - maybe market research, but probably use the same researchers, and so they end up producing the same model!
:smirk:

Thanks for clearing that up Dave, I didn’t know that:thumb2:
I thought the box art had a trumpeter look to it!

Now, the T-35 is a BIG tank - but this 1/72 model has 237 parts! from the few pictures, it looks to have the same level of detail, as the 1/35 version, also from Zvezda - I made this recently[ATTACH]318271[/ATTACH]
That had some 440 parts - I'm curious to see the parts breakdown on the braille scale version!

Dave they seemed to have up'd their game in the last few years. That T35 looks really good .
