Zvezda 1/35 T-70 Soviet Light Tank - Z3631

T-70B - a modernized version of the T-70, developed from July 1942, production began in October of the same year, at the GAZ plant in Gorky and plant No. 38 in Kirov. Modification "B" differed from the early T-70 tanks with a new reinforced undercarriage, a modified exhaust system and a new driver's hatch. At the very end of 1942, a new welded armor cover was introduced, and in the spring of 1943, exhaust pipe guards and a stamped driver's hatch appeared.
The T-70Bs were armed with a 45mm 20K gun and a 7.62mm DT machine gun, and the hull was armored with 15-45mm thick plates. Maneuverability was provided by two twin car engines with a total power of 70 hp, so the tank made no louder noise than a regular truck. The T-70B became the second largest Soviet tank during the war. These vehicles entered service with most of the tank and mechanized units of the Red Army, went through the entire war and served until victory.
