I'm happy to present you the latest addition to Minairons' 1:72 Spanish Civil War vehicles range: the BT-5 Fast Tank – another intermediate step in the tanks family started by J. Walter Christie's early designs, capable of a remarkable 72kph speed and reasonably well-armed for its time. Up to 50 BT-5s were used by both sides in SCW late stages (Ebro battle and Catalonia invasion, mainly).
As for model itself, it is quite easy to build, as usual. It consists of just six main parts cast in resin (two of which are turret hatchets), while the seventh piece is a finely-shaped brass barrel. Kit is sold individually in box, along with a decal sheet – the same one already used for the T-26 tanks.
Our new 1:72 BT-5 Fast Tank can already be ordered from our website, or alternatively requested from our retailers and distributors. Separate brass barrels will be available for purchase in the next few days, too.
