The T-12 was a medium tank designed in the late 1920s, which didn't get much past the prototype, being replaced by the T-24. The Soviets had captured a British Mk V tanks from the White Army and used them in various roles until the early parts of WW II. The Artillery Directorate of the Supplies Directorate indicated that the T-12 was viewed as a replacement for these Mk V tanks and would be employed in a “breakthrough” and “manouver” role. 30 tanks were approved in the tank program for 1929/1930. One tank was trialled in late 1929 and early 1930 and by the following year there is no further mention of the T-12 with all emphasis having shifted to the T-24 which retains much of the design characteristics of the T-12 indicating that it must have performed very badly during the trials of 1929. With very limited information and photos HobbyBoss designed their version, said by some experts not to be correct. The T12 quickly was followed by the T18 and the T24.
Clean mouldings and well laid out insructions.
Knowing my history of tracks, I decided to start the top and bottom runs. Then realised that the hull would be best built with the rollers on so I could have the right length before the sprockets.
Start of main assembly, filler is needed on some of the assemblies .
Rear sledge, mainly used to carry tarps , spare ammo and anything else.
