Trumpeter 05545 Soviet T-10 Heavy Tank 1:35

The Trumpeter 05545 plastic model kit depicts the Soviet T-10 heavy tank in 1:35 scale. This detailed model is a faithful replica of the last serially produced heavy tank of the Soviet Army, designated as Object 730, which was developed based on the experiences from the design of the IS-3 and IS-4 tanks.

The T-10 tank entered service in 1953 and remained in use by the USSR’s armored forces until the 1970s, placing it firmly in the Cold War era. The vehicle was used by the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries as a demonstration of armored strength and as a guarantee of the Eastern Bloc’s border security. Although the T-10 was not involved in large-scale direct combat, its presence set the standard for postwar heavy tank concepts.

Trumpeter 05545 is a plastic model kit marked by excellent detail accuracy, in accordance with the historical specifications of the T-10. The kit includes high-quality plastic parts that allow for precise reproduction of features such as the distinctively shaped turret, long rifled 122mm gun, numerous armor surface details, hatches, suspension components, and comprehensive tracks. The manufacturer has also ensured a wealth of accessories: the set contains additional storage boxes, tools, and intricately detailed exhausts.
