UMT 692 BT-2 tank with an experimental turret (with a 76,2mm gun) design of the "Krasny Putilovets" Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Tank Kit

BT-2 tank with experimental 76.2mm turret plastic model kit in 1/72 scale by UMT represents a Soviet experimental configuration of the early BT fast tank family. This plastic model kit depicts a prototype-style vehicle equipped with a large experimental turret designed at the Krasny Putilovets plant and armed with a 76.2mm gun.

The BT-2 was one of the first Soviet fast tanks developed in the early 1930s as part of the expansion of mechanized forces. During this period several experimental turret and armament concepts were tested as Soviet designers explored ways to increase firepower on high-mobility tank platforms.

BT-2 with Experimental Turret - Interwar Soviet Tank Development

This configuration illustrates an experimental approach to mounting heavier armament on the BT chassis. The turret designed by the Krasny Putilovets plant reflects the engineering experimentation taking place in the Soviet tank industry during the early 1930s, when designers tested different weapon layouts and turret concepts.

For modelers: Early BT-series tanks feature large road wheels and a distinctive suspension arrangement. Careful alignment of the running gear and turret base during assembly helps maintain the characteristic profile of the fast tank design in 1/72 scale.
