Trumpeter 09584 1/35 Soviet SMK Heavy Tank – Military Vehicles & Tanks

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
The SMK was an armoured vehicle prototype developed by the Soviet Union prior to the Second World War. It was named after Sergei Mironovich Kirov, a Communist Party official assassinated in 1934. The SMK was discovered and classified by German intelligence as the T-35C, this has led to the misunderstanding that the T-35 took part in the Russio-Finnish war.
Only one was built and after a trial showing the downsides of its weight and size against the KV tank and brief use in the war with Finland, the project was dropped.
The SMK’s armament was a short 76.2 mm gun in the upper centrally placed turret and a 45 mm weapon in the forward turret.
