Title: OT-130 Flamethrower Tank (15mm)
Post by: Fitz on May 07, 2021, 12:15:38 AM

The OT-130 was a flamethrower variant of the Soviet T-26B light tank.

Painting complete. The tank and infantryman are both 15mm (1:100 scale), and both were 3d printed on my Elegoo Mars Pro in eSun water-washable resin.

For a blow-by-blow work-in-progress post on the painting of this thing, go here (http://mojobob.blogspot.com/2021/05/ot-130-paintening-proceeds.html).

Very nice, you could have said the tank was a larger scale.

Interesting! It seems to have very little, if any, external paraphernalia normally associated with flamethrower tanks. Would such a tank have used a trailer, as some others did?

No, in this model the fuel tanks were internal. You can see the two filler caps to the left of the turret.
