UMT 686 T-26 tank with cylindrical turret and 76,2mm tunk gun (KT-28) Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Tank Kit

T-26 Tank with Cylindrical Turret and KT-28 76.2 mm Gun in 1/72 scale is a plastic model kit by UMT representing a Soviet modification of the T-26 light tank equipped with a short-barrel 76.2 mm KT-28 gun. This configuration reflects experimental and support variants of the T-26 developed during the interwar period.

The T-26 series formed one of the core components of Soviet armored forces during the 1930s. Based on the British Vickers 6-Ton design, the vehicle underwent numerous modifications as Soviet engineers explored different turret layouts and weapon systems. One such variant included a cylindrical turret mounting the KT-28 gun, originally designed for close-support roles.

T-26 with KT-28 Gun - Soviet Close-Support Tank Concept

The KT-28 76.2 mm gun was developed to provide stronger high-explosive firepower compared to standard tank armament of the time. Vehicles equipped with this weapon were intended to support infantry and engage fortified positions, demonstrating Soviet experimentation with heavier guns on light tank platforms.

For modelers: The cylindrical turret and short-barrel KT-28 gun give this version of the T-26 a distinctive silhouette. Careful alignment of the suspension and turret ring helps maintain the correct proportions of the finished 1/72 scale model.
