UMT697 Artillery Self-Propelled Mount Based on the BT-7 Tank with L-11 Tank Gun Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Self-propelled gun Kit

BT-7 artillery self-propelled mount with L-11 tank gun is an unpainted, unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale produced by UMT. The subject represents an experimental Soviet artillery self-propelled concept developed on the chassis of the BT-7 fast tank during the interwar period.

The BT-7 was one of the final developments in the Soviet BT series of fast tanks, designed around the Christie suspension system that allowed high mobility on both tracks and wheels. During the 1930s, Soviet designers explored a variety of experimental configurations using BT-series chassis, including proposals for mobile artillery vehicles equipped with larger-caliber tank guns.

BT-7 Artillery Self-Propelled Mount - Experimental Soviet SPG Concept

This configuration combines the BT-7 fast tank chassis with the L-11 tank gun, illustrating a concept intended to provide mobile artillery support to mechanized formations. Such experimental vehicles reflect ongoing efforts to expand the combat roles of fast armored platforms during the development of Soviet armored forces.

For modelers: Vehicles based on the BT series feature distinctive suspension and road wheel arrangements. Careful alignment of the running gear before final assembly helps maintain a balanced stance and ensures the wheels and tracks sit evenly on the finished model.
