HBB82498 - Hobbyboss - 1/35 OT-130 Flamethrower Tank

During the interwar period and early stages of mechanized warfare development, the Soviet Union experimented with specialized armored vehicles designed for infantry support and bunker suppression. One such vehicle was the OT-130 flamethrower tank, developed from the T-26 light tank chassis. Instead of a traditional main gun, it mounted a flamethrower system intended for close-range assault operations against fortified positions, trenches, and urban strongpoints. These vehicles saw limited use during the late 1930s and early World War II period, reflecting early Soviet experimentation with specialized combat roles for armored forces.

This HobbyBoss 1/35 OT-130 Flamethrower Tank (82498) is a detailed plastic model kit of this unusual Soviet armored vehicle. The kit accurately reproduces the light T-26-based chassis, riveted armor construction, and modified turret housing the flamethrower apparatus. Fine surface detailing captures the distinctive early-war Soviet engineering style, while suspension and track components are faithfully represented for realism.

This subject is ideal for early WWII dioramas, especially Soviet breakthrough or urban combat scenes, offering a unique and historically significant armored vehicle.
