T-27a Tankette (15mm)
« on: May 30, 2016, 03:13:09 AM »


Here's my tiny little 3d-printed T-27a tankette in 1/100 (15mm) scale, along with a Peter Pig WW1 British artilleryman for scale.

I thought it turned out pretty well, for a WSF print.

Two Fitz T-27A tankettes. These are 3D prints printed for me by an acquaintance on some resin printer using a file paid for by me. Originally a 15mm model, these have been scaled up to 20mm size.



A 1/72 scale Revell infantryman for scale. The scaling up has of course affected the rivets and the DT LMG a bit, but I still find the result perfectly acceptable.



I could replace the LMG with a Sgt's Mess DT barrel (they make a set of 30 which I have), but I haven't felt the need to do so.



Originally a tankette, the T-27A was quickly converted into a gun tractor when it was realized that it was fairly useless as a tank, hence the tow hook. This seems to have happened by the Winter War already. The Fitz model includes the tow hook which should be removed if the tankette is painted for use in the Khalkhin Gol or other early battles.



The Fitz model has a huge amount of detail and is a steal at 5 USD or thereabouts. After this experience I'm fairly sure that other 15mm Fitz models will scale up nicely to 20mm.

Absolutely superb! Ideal for AVBCW,  Fitz will these be available through your shapeways page?

They are:

1:100 (15mm) at http://shpws.me/M8jb
1:72 (20mm) at http://shpws.me/M8jc
1:56 (28mm) at http://shpws.me/QJ4A

and if you have access to a 3d printer, the STL for the 15mm version can be had at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/t-27s-tankette/ (the 20mm and 28mm versions aren't on wargaming3d.com as yet, but I'll put them up shortly).

Since this thread reminded me that I'd actually made this model, I thought I'd probably better get around to printing some, now that I have a resin printer of my own.


There are probably far more here than I'll ever need, but you never know. This is a little less than half a batallion, which would have been 50 vehicles — there are 21 here.
