Description
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The 35(t) tank was developed and produced in Czechoslovakia just before World War II; Czechoslovakia had become independent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1930s after World War I. Armed with two machine guns and a Skoda 40-caliber 37mm cannon, this tank also sported a Skoda T-11/0 in-line six-cylinder liquid-cooled gasoline engine capable of producing 120 horsepower. It was handed over to the Czechoslovak Army beginning in 1936, and produced until 1938. In 1939, 130 of this tank were assigned to the Kyo Armored Division by the German Army, and were used in operations such as the invasion of Poland and France; they were also used in Operation Barbarossa in 1941.
Although this kit from Italeri is compactly sized, you'll be able to enjoy a realistic finish with condensed reproduction. The basic chassis is divided into three parts: the bottom plate, and the left and right side walls. The suspension is modeled with separate parts such as the arm and leaf spring; the tracks are a belt type that are easy to assemble. The upper part of the hull features details such as visible bolts for a heightened sense of realism. The turret is divided into left and right parts as well, and the 37mm main gun includes a mantlet. This is an excellent kit to represent a tank from the early days of the war in your collection -- order yours today!

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
