UMT 668 Tank BT-7 "experimental" with 76,2 mm gun (limited edition) Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Tank Kit

BT-7 experimental tank with 76.2 mm gun in 1/72 scale is represented by this plastic model kit from UMT. The model depicts a rare experimental variant of the Soviet BT-series fast tanks equipped with a larger caliber gun mounted in a modified turret configuration.

The BT-7 was one of the final developments of the Soviet BT fast tank family, introduced in the late 1930s. Based on the Christie suspension system and convertible wheel-track drive concept, BT tanks were designed for high mobility and rapid maneuver operations during the interwar period and the early phase of World War II.

BT-7 Experimental Variant with 76.2 mm Gun

Several experimental configurations were tested on the BT platform, including attempts to mount more powerful armament than the standard 45 mm tank gun. The installation of a 76.2 mm weapon represented one such experimental approach aimed at increasing the vehicle's firepower while retaining the fast tank chassis.

For modelers: Fast tanks like the BT series feature multiple road wheels and a distinctive suspension layout. Careful alignment of the running gear before attaching the tracks helps maintain the characteristic profile of the vehicle.
