I have a feeling that it will take a while until we will start seeing early war vehicles in 1/56 scale plastic. They just don't sell in the same quantities as equipment fielded in 1943 or 1944.

With Tank War rolling out worldwide, and the sound of gunfire sounding out from tabletop battlefields across the world, something wicked this way comes – the OT-130, as fielded by the Soviet, Finnish and German forces – the latter renaming it Flammwerfer Panzerkampfwagen T-26B 739(r).

OT-130

The OT-130 was based upon the tried-and-tested T-26 Light Infantry Tank chassis (specifically, the single-turreted 1933 model).

OT-130

Soviet Engineers created a wide range of flamethrowing vehicles in order to flame Germans out of bunkers and strongpoints – in fact, approximately 12% of the T-26s produced would become flamethrower variants. The OT-130 was developed in 1933, and mounted a larger 45mm gun turret than the standard T-26.

OT-130

It could carry 360 liters of fuel for the flamethrower – allowing it to fire either 40 six-second bursts at a range of 45-50 meters, or a single 10-25 second burst at a range of 100 meters by utilizing a special on-board compressor.
