To go along with the T-35s, T-28s, and the Experimental Heavy Tank Company's SMK for my Winter War Soviets, I need some smaller, more useful tanks. I have some Zvezda T-26s, but they're a much later model (1937) with the snazzy drop-forged turret — the same turret, I think, as was used on the BT-7.
So I fired up Blender and whipped up this very early version of the T-26, from 1933. It was of all-riveted construction, and the turret-basket was a little tacked-on affair. I don't know if there were any of these still around by 1939; this version was very much an interwar affair, soon superseded. However, in my fantasy universe there will have been, if only so that I can get them on to the wargames table.
By 1940 it had been superseded by newer models, with more welded construction and a turret with an integrated basket.
Since doing that test-print, I've added some tools to the track guards, and an old-style box-shaped jack to the engine deck. I haven't yet printed this version, but I don't anticipate any issues since there were no problems with the base model.
I've had to guess at the size of the jack from pictures, but its dimensions are correct in ratio, so it should be fairly close I think.
I've put the STLs online at
