T-28 Soviet Medium Tank

Bring a distinctive piece of Red Army armoured history to your collection with this detailed T-28 model. Developed during the interwar period and still in service during the opening stages of World War II, the T-28 stands apart from later Soviet tanks through its unmistakable multi-turret configuration.

Historical Role

The T-28 was designed as a medium breakthrough tank intended to support infantry against fortified positions. Its 76.2 mm main armament provided direct-fire support, while two smaller machine-gun turrets helped cover the forward approaches. The type saw significant action during the Winter War and remained in Red Army service during the early fighting on the Eastern Front in 1941, although changing battlefield conditions increasingly exposed the limitations of its interwar design.

Distinctive Appearance

A tall, angular hull, prominent central turret and two separate machine-gun turrets give the T-28 an instantly recognisable silhouette. Its long running gear, broad upper hull and layered arrangement of armament create a complex profile unlike the cleaner, single-turret forms of later Soviet vehicles. This distinctive multi-turret layout is the reason the model carries the UNIQUE DESIGN badge.

Modelling Uses

The T-28 is ideal for early-war Red Army dioramas, Winter War scenes and Eastern Front displays. It also makes an unusual centrepiece for model railways, historical wargaming displays and collections focused on Soviet armour or interwar engineering. The wide range of scales allows it to suit compact layouts, gaming collections and larger showcase builds.

Fun Fact

The T-28 reflects a short-lived period of tank development when designers used multiple turrets to engage several targets in different directions. In practice, coordinating three turrets placed considerable demands on the crew, and Soviet tank development later moved decisively towards single-turret designs.
