[Product Details]

This is a 2-item set of 1/35 scale plastic model kits from Tamiya, featuring armored vehicles used by the Finnish and Soviet armies during World War II.

This particular combination is more than just a collection of tanks from the same era.

The Finnish BT-42 assault gun was developed by modifying the chassis of a BT-7 tank—a vehicle captured from the Soviet army—establishing a clear historical and structural link between the two.

As such, this set offers a fascinating opportunity for military modelers to compare the original vehicle with its modified variant.

■ ① Finnish Army Assault Gun BT-42

The BT-42 was an assault gun developed and operated by the Finnish army during World War II.

It is a unique vehicle, built upon the chassis of a Soviet-made BT-7 tank and fitted with a new turret housing a 114mm howitzer.

Created by repurposing the limited equipment and resources available to the Finnish military, it is distinguished by a highly unique appearance that sets it apart from conventional tanks.

This product is Tamiya’s 1/35 scale kit (Military Miniature Series No. 318), which recreates the Finnish army’s BT-42. Key features include a distinctive large turret, a short-barreled main gun, and a hull design derived from the BT series of tanks.

■ ② Soviet Tank BT-7 (1937 Model)

The BT-7 was a high-speed tank used by the Soviet military starting before World War II.

As part of the BT series—which prioritized high mobility—it features a unique suspension system and hull configuration.

This product is Tamiya’s 1/35 scale kit (Military Miniature Series No.327), representing the 1937 model.

The box art depicts a Soviet vehicle and its crew, capturing the atmosphere of a tank unit from that era.

【Why this 2-item set is appealing】

The BT-7 and the BT-42 are directly related in terms of their historical development.

This set allows you to compare how the Finnish military modified the BT-7 hull to transform it into the BT-42 assault gun.

Since both are 1/35 scale kits from Tamiya, you can easily examine the differences and commonalities between the two vehicles when displayed together.

This set is highly recommended for collectors of Soviet tanks, Finnish armored vehicles, captured-and-modified vehicles, or World War II-era military models.
