{"product_id":"1-35-finish-army-assltgun","title":"Tamiya 35318 1\/35 BT-42 Finnish Army Assault Gun","description":"During WWII, Finnish forces were very short of adequate armored vehicles such as tanks. Most of the tanks in their possession were obsolete models which were no match for the newer Russian tanks such as the T-34 and KV-1. However, circumstances meant the Finnish Army had to make the most of what was available, and they combined the hull from a captured Russian BT-7 light tank with a new turret armed with the ancient 1918 British 4.5-inch howitzer to create the BT-42 assault gun. It is believed only 18 vehicles were produced during the WWII conflict. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecs and Features\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1\/35 scale assembly kit model of the Finnish Army Assault Gun BT-42.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCrew hatches can be depicted in either open or closed state.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails including the shortened front fenders, storage boxes on side fenders, and accessories such as jacks have been realistically reproduced.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhoto-etched parts to depict side plates of the mantlet and engine grilles are included.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComes with a standing crew figure and 3 types of decal markings.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50545347723548,"sku":"TAM35318","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/4626\/8956\/files\/TAM35318.jpg?v=1730496018","url":"https:\/\/theodore-hobbies.myshopify.com\/products\/1-35-finish-army-assltgun","provider":"Eastridge Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
