Trumpeter 07154 Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank 1/72 – Plastic model of a Soviet heavy tank from the Cold War era

The presented model, Trumpeter 07154 Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank in 1/72 scale, is a faithfully reproduced heavy tank, the last representative of the legendary Soviet armored vehicle lines KV and IS from the Cold War period. The T-10M became a historic milestone as the culminating point in the development of Soviet armored forces before the transition to the era of universal main battle tanks.

Historical Information

The T-10M tank entered production in 1952 (originally designed as JS-10) and was officially rebuilt and renamed after Stalin's death in 1953. The T-10M version (upgraded in 1957) was equipped with an extended M-62-T2 L/43 gun, a five-chamber muzzle brake, a 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun, and, for its time, advanced night vision equipment and NBC protection. This vehicle offered exceptional ballistic protection: the frontal armor was as thick as 250 mm — one of the greatest in its class. The T-10M was used by the Soviet Army from the 1950s to 1975, serving as part of strategic reserves and stationed at Warsaw Pact bases.
