T26 TN Russian observation tank by Baker Mirage - FINISHED -1/72

[Baker]

This is chapter 2 of the T26 tanks (and also the last T26 from my stash)

 

Only 1 prototype was ever built in 1934 and tested in 1935. 

The intention was to have a mobile armored observation post for artillery

Finishing

The model has a little dry brushing of light grey and a little wash of thinned black.

The original was only a prototype and never saw service.

In the role it was designed for.
A mobile observation Post for artillery (in this case the AT-1)

Thanks for following this build.
