Trumpeter 00341 Finnish Army T-55 W/KMT-5 (1/35) – Plastic Tank Model

The Trumpeter 00341 Finnish Army T-55 W/KMT-5 model in 1/35 scale is a precisely designed and highly detailed plastic kit, enabling you to build a replica of one of the most renowned and recognizable Cold War tanks, featuring a unique Finnish Army touch. The T-55 tank, developed in the USSR in the early 1950s, saw widespread use not only by the Soviet Army but was also exported to allied and neutral countries—including Finland. This Finnish version presented by Trumpeter is fitted with the unique KMT-5 mine roller system, a device used for clearing minefields during maneuvers and combat training.

The T-55 tank entered production in 1958. It was actively used during the Cold War period (from the 1950s through the end of the 20th century), and the Finnish army decided on its purchase to enhance defensive capability. In Finland, the T-55 was mainly used for training and exercises, and it also served as part of the deterrence forces during times of heightened geopolitical tension in Northern Europe.
