This is a very small (6 cm) resin model of a Soviet
T-26 light tank from the inter-war years. It served from 1931 through the end of the Great Patriotic War. There were 56 variants of the basic T-26 design over a 9 year period.
There are only six parts to the kit. The wheel and track on each side is one part, but was badly warped and had to be straightened by dipping in hot hot hot water then bending back to shape and holding under a book. It is from Cromwell Models of Scotland. I paid $5 at a militaria flea market, which comes out to a little less than a dollar per cm of length.
