T26 T and T26 TB
Mirage Hobby
These were two models that were almost indistinguishable on the outside. The only difference is a ladder on both versions. On the TP (Transporter Personnel) there was a ladder on each side to enter and exit the vehicle. On the TB (Transporter Ammunition) model the ladder was in the front in front of the driver’s compartment.
The TBs Load was up to 1 ton and the TP could carry a squad of 7 troops.
Armament = 1 x 7.62mm DT MG

T-26 76.2mm “Leningrad”
Dzialo Samobiezne 76.2mm “Leningrad”
Mirage Hobby
This was a repair depot modification at Leningrad’s Kirov plant while they were surrounded and cut off from the main body of Russia in 1941. They would take damaged T26’s and repair them in what ever way would give them something to fight with. According to the models instructions “about a dozen or so” were modified in this manner, another source (rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com) said 24 were rebuilt in this manner.
Gun = Mk 1926 Naval 76.2mm gun

New T-26 models found
Well it's been a long time since adding to this page but I have finaly finished some new models of T-26 tanks and there off shoots to add pictures of. I built six new models in 1/72 scale, two of which are already featured here and four are new and will be listed in my next entries. I also saw pictures of two others in 1/76 scale but have not found them any where yet to buy them.
The second, third and fourth of these I plan on scratch building in 1/87th scale.
Enjoy.
