Soviet T-28E Medium Tank, 1/35 - Hobby Boss 83854

Release scheduled for September 2026.

The 83854 reference from Hobby Boss is a static plastic model made of injection-molded plastic at 1/35, representing a Soviet medium tank, the T-28E. This subject recreates one of the Soviet multi-turret armored vehicles developed during the interwar period.

The T-28E tank

The T-28 was designed in the Soviet Union as an infantry support tank. Its silhouette is distinguished by a main turret paired with two smaller turrets positioned at the front of the hull. This distinctive layout makes it a particularly interesting subject for a collection dedicated to Soviet armored vehicles from the 1930s and the early years of World War II.

The Hobby Boss 83854 model kit

Built at a scale of 1/35, this kit offers a detailed reproduction of the T-28E. The model includes more than 830 parts, photo-etched elements, and tracks made up of individual links. The turret, upper hull, and lower hull feature parts molded using a multi-slide molding technology.

The individual links allow you to carefully work on the look of the tracks and their fit around the running gear. The photo-etched parts add extra sharpness and finesse to the vehicle’s detailing.

Assembly and finishing

Like any plastic model kit to be assembled, this model requires part preparation, gluing, and painting. A methodical assembly of the many small parts and the tracks is recommended. Applying a primer before painting helps you check the assemblies and prepares for a uniform finish.

A light weathering, created with effects of dust, earth, or wear, helps bring out the complex volumes of the hull, turrets, and running gear. The T-28E also serves as a suitable base for creating a diorama focused on Soviet armored vehicles.
