Developed in 1942, the T-70 light tank carried a 45mm cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun. Powered by a pair of automotive engines, the tank was relatively quiet, not much louder than a truck.
Zvezda’s T-70B comprises four trees of gray plastic parts, including link-and-length tracks and clear parts for headlights and periscopes. Painting diagrams show four options, but the decals include a matrix of numbers to create any turret number. The six-page instruction sheet includes 17 steps with build options called out. I built Marking Version 4, a tank from the northern front of the Kursk bulge in July 1943, so I watched for small differences.
