UMT 338 BT-2 Soviet machine-gun tank Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Tank Kit

BT-2 Soviet machine-gun tank is a plastic model kit in 1/72 scale produced by UMT. The model represents an early Soviet light tank configuration armed with machine guns and developed as part of the fast tank series of the early 1930s.

The BT-2 was one of the first Soviet tanks built around the Christie suspension concept, which provided high mobility and the distinctive ability to operate on both tracks and wheels. Introduced during the interwar period, the BT-2 helped shape the later development of Soviet fast tank designs.

BT-2 - Early Soviet Fast Tank

The machine-gun variant of the BT-2 reflects the earliest armament configuration of this tank type. Vehicles of this series were used primarily for mechanized unit development and training as Soviet armored doctrine evolved during the 1930s.

For modelers: When assembling small-scale armor like the BT-2, careful alignment of the suspension elements and road wheels can improve the visual balance of the finished model. Painting the running gear separately before final assembly may simplify detailing.
