Techmod makes a T-50 light tank (two variants) and Eduard makes a photoetched set for the kit as well (#35 299).

The Russian T-50, I presume?
Techmod makes an injection-moulded styrene kit in 1:35. They have two different kits out there, one with applique armor (#3005) and one without (#3002).



Edit: too slow. I was on those very same links a moment ago.

Thanks for the quickly answers..

I think "Techmod" produce now only decals? And this 3002 and 3005 are not more available?

I found "Mirage 35106" too, is it same mould? Because boxart ist same.

Thanks again

Seems so, Jadarhobby's product entry says "This is Techmod model in new box".

If I'm not mistaken, T-50 had it's own type of tracks. I'm not aware of aftermarket tracks, but I have the impression the kit tracks are of individual type and quite nice.

Right, the T-50's tracks were unique to it and I've never heard of any aftermarket tracks. The kit tracks are the reason you rarely see this model actually completed by anyone The kit tracks are nicely detailed, but each of the center guide teeth is a separate part, so ....these tracks are the reason why the word "tedious" was invented. The rest of the kit isn't terrible, in fact, with careful work it can come out very nicely, but god help you with the tracks because no one else will.

It took me 20 hours for the tracks alone. There are no extras.There is no slack in the run. Good luck. It DOES look good when finished.
I originally had the Macquette kit. It's horribly flashed on all sprues and many mis-shot parts. I threw it away and got the Techmod kit..............
