This version corresponds to the T-26 TU from 1933. The main difference comparing with the 1931 version, is the 45mm cannon mounted in a sole turret. This previous version, had also two side by side turrets with machine guns mounted. The kit provides, the curve and blind cover, which protected the engines vents from the Molotov bombs. This is a typical characteristic of the late models, although these covers had been mounted retrospectively on many vehicles that had already been manufactured.
