Trumpeter 00341 Finnish Army T-55 w/KMT-5 1/35 model

This is a 1/35 scale plastic model kit representing a Finnish Army T-55 fitted with the KMT-5 mine trawl, positioned as a display subject for model builders focused on Cold War armored vehicles.

The T-55 was developed in the Soviet Union after World War II and became one of the most widely produced main battle tanks of the Cold War era. Several operators adapted the basic hull for local requirements; the KMT-5 mine trawl, introduced in the early 1960s, was deployed to improve mine-clearing capability by detonating or disrupting antitank mines ahead of the tracks. Finnish service examples were field-modified with engineering attachments for clearance tasks.

As a scale kit, the model focuses on external details of the T-55 hull and the KMT-5 trawl assembly. The subject requires careful assembly and paint work to represent the fitted engineering equipment accurately. Builders should consult reference photographs for finish and weathering to match Finnish field equipment choices. The kit suits display builds where the trawl is shown installed on the vehicle rather than as an isolated accessory.

A focused 1/35 representation of a T-55 with KMT-5 mine-clearing gear, intended for modelers interested in Cold War armored vehicle subjects and realistic display builds.
