Mirage Hobby 72610 T-26A 76.2 mm support tank is a detailed plastic model kit of a support tank in 1/72 scale, designed for historical scale modeling enthusiasts. The model depicts the Soviet T-26A fire support tank, armed with a 76.2 mm gun, which was one of the key armored vehicles of the Red Army in the early phase of World War II.

Historical overview of the T-26A

The T-26A was a Soviet support tank developed on the basis of the classic light T-26 tank, produced between 1931 and 1941. The variant designated as T-26A was distinguished by the installation of a powerful KT-28 76.2 mm gun in place of the standard 45 mm cannon. Tanks of this type entered service primarily in the second half of the 1930s and were intensively used during the Spanish Civil War, the war with Finland (Winter War 1939/40), and in the early period of World War II.

During the interwar period and the Winter War, the T-26A was a key infantry support vehicle, providing effective firepower against fortifications and enemy armored forces. Despite its relatively light armor, the T-26A was one of the most widely produced fire support tanks in the world, supporting Soviet forces until 1941.
