Hi dear friends,

I build a OT-130 for "Armor Between the Wars Campaign"



a short information : (from Wikipedia)
Flame-throwing tanks formed around 12% of the series production of T-26 light tanks.[1] It should be mentioned that the abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank which stands for Flame-throwing Tank) appeared only in post-war literature; these tanks were originally called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank which stands for Chemical Tank), or BKhM (Boevaya Khimicheskaya Mashina; Fighting Chemical Vehicle) in the documents of 1930s. All chemical (flame-throwing) tanks based on the T-26 chassis (KhT-26, KhT-130, KhT-133) were designated BKhM-3. The vehicles were intended for area chemical contamination, smoke screens and for flame-throwing.
The TKhP-3 chemical equipment for smoke screens and chemical contamination was developed in 1932. This equipment could be easily installed on any T-26 light tank and was produced by the "Compressor" Factory, (introduced for smoke screening as the TDP-3 from summer 1934; 1,503 such sets were produced to the end of 1936).[1]
KhT-26 (OT-26) — Flamethrower variant developed in 1933. Based on the twin-turreted T-26 mod. 1931 tank but using a single turret armed with a flamethrower, the second turret was removed.
KhT-130 (OT-130) — Flamethrower variant of model 1933, using a larger 45 mm gun turret (a gun was replaced with a flamethrower).
KhT-133 (OT-133) — Flamethrower variant of model 1939 (a gun was replaced with a flamethrower).
KhT-134 (OT-134) — Flamethrower variant of model 1939, with 45 mm gun.

Let's see parts before







a little bit of progress ..

Erhan, well, another Braille build log, and a vehicle and kit make I haven't seen before. I will follow it.

Hi dear friends,

This update for Matthew

lower and upper parts combined , body is completed,


I started the wheels and suspension system. A total of 70 small pieces


I must to do four set this suspension system

Ethan, this looks like a neat little built and you seem to be doing q good job. That suspension looks rather involved and I take it that it is small.

Regards,
AJ

Erhan, all is looking very good. The suspension assembly looks very nice and well detailed.

hi dear friends,

some update for my OT-130/2 ..
cheers...











and painting time..

Nice model Erhan. It seem a good kit.

Regards.

Pedro.

It's great to see you keeping a second build log here Erhan. I'll be following this as well as your posts in the Between the Wars campaign

Hello dear friends and thank you for your beautiful posts...

The weather is very hot in Antalya/Turkey and impossible to making model...

And the final for me

Wow that was fast! It looks great in Finnish markings

Absolutely beautiful, Erhan, and as Jeremy mentioned, fast too. As far as I am concerned the weathering is most suitable and effective. Hope the weather cools down a bit in your area so it doesn't keep you from building too long.

Cheers,
Jan

Thank you Jan and Jeremy,

weather is hot, but I love my hobby. Quickly completed because there are lots of kit waiting me

And weathering , I learn from you and I would apply...

my friend Stephen Beat has been criticism about the swastika , not forget

"Erhan's model is very nice and his posts about the build really give you a good impression of what the Mirrage Hobby model is like (very good as it tuns out). However, one criticism I have is that the Finnish decals are incorrect, the blue Hakenkreuz (Finnish swastika) should actually be black - though the Finnish Air Force of the time did use the blue version."
