It was quickly adapted by the Finnish forces and equipped with a 114 mm British-made howitzer. The BT-42 was used by Finnish troops mainly during the Continuation War (1943-1944) against the Red Army. Its distinctive silhouette, original armor, and unusual armament made it one of the most recognizable vehicles of the Finnish armored forces of the era. After the war, these vehicles remained in service until 1951.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Tamiya 35318 Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003ePrecisely reproduced hull and turret details, faithfully representing the original\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eIncluded photo-etched parts allow for accurate replication of technical details\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTow cable and decals for various historical Finnish Army variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eClear assembly instructions and painting schemes for several units using the BT-42 between 1943 and 1951\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eWho do we recommend it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n      This product is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value historical accuracy and wish to enrich their collection with an uncommon armored vehicle from the Finnish theater of war.
