Thanks!

No T-35's had 37mm guns. All had 45mm.

The information I have is that the 45mm was replaced with 37mm or the other way round, either way I believe these are the 37mm guns however I am happy to be corrected.

The only Russian 37mm was an AAA gun.

A detailed model with what looks like good molding!

Greg, not quiet correct. According to Steven Zaloga in Spanish Civil War Tanks: The Proving Ground for Blitzkrieg, Stalin's hordes did start out with a 3.7cm ATG: the 37mm anti-tank gun model 1930 (1-K). It was a licensed Rheinmetal 37mm and considered inadequate for the Soviets; they upscaled it to the 19-K 45mm ATG. Some model 1930s were encountered during Barbarossa. Perhaps some were put in the T-35?

Disregarding any issues with what weapon she carried i think it looks like a very interesting subject and a tank I've never seen before. My interest is officially piqued!

Would love to see a photo of a T-35 with a 37, to this date, I have not ever scene one. If you can find one, please post it. The Russians made thousands and thousands of the 45mm. It armed the bulk of the BT and T-26 fleets, not to mention the BA fleet.

Thanks for a nice review

Can it be safe to say that the Hobby Boss molding of the T-28 and T-35 are NOT copycat and/or re-hashed ICM or ALANGER molds/kits of the same vehicles??
