Hello,

I plan to build one for a current campaign -- the version that had a flat turret top. Been googling for walkaround pics and all I have seen so far are the ones that had a half-domed turret top. Appreciate advise on walkaround pics for the flat one. Also would this flat-top version apt to be called an "early" T-37A?. Thanks!

Cheers,

Tat

Looks like pics of the "flat top" variant (whatever it's called ) are rather scarce...













Finnish one :








full size

EDIT : according to one caption I've found, this variant is a "T-37A with the hull of the Izhorsky plant"

Thanks for these Frenchy -- it is of great help! Indeed pics of these "flat tops" are quite few. Cheers, Tat

You're welcome Tat. Here you can see both variants side by side :

Even better, thanks again! Good to note that the small ports on the sides are round. The Maquette kit with me had a couple of round and square ones so this pic nails it. Cheers, Tat
