I hope they don't take forever to release the up armoured versions. And even though early T-28s seem to be rather sparsely marked, I agree a little bit more effort could have been shown here.

These excellent HobbyBoss kits of 1930's Soviet AFV's are a welcome contribution to an often neglected area.

This is about 11 inches long! Pretty big for 1/35th.

Nice review!

As to the limited markings, that may be about all that can be documented. The Winter War tanks and nearly all Barbarosa vehicles had the later turret with two hatches, and/or the uparmoring. Hobby Boss could have included more markings, but that would open them up to the opposite criticism that the markings were inappropriate for the model in the box, wouldn't it?
