Trumpeter 05540 Soviet Komintern Artillery Tractor is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1:35 scale, ideal for modelers interested in World War II military vehicles. The Komintern was a Soviet artillery tractor based on components of the T-12 and T-24 tank chassis, with approximately 2,000 units produced between 1935 and 1941. The vehicle was used by the Red Army primarily for towing medium artillery pieces such as the 152 mm ML-20 gun-howitzer.

The Trumpeter 05540 model faithfully replicates the details of the original—the kit contains over 330 precisely cast plastic parts spread over 18 sprues, as well as separate components for the cab, engine cover, and lower hull. Thanks to multi-slide molding technology, you get excellently reproduced details of elements such as the driver's cab and the hull. The model features realistic, individual track links, allowing you to achieve a look very close to combat-used vehicles.

The main advantage of the Soviet Komintern was its 131 hp diesel engine, which enabled the effective transport of heavy weaponry across a variety of World War II front terrains—from Eastern Europe to Siberia. Despite certain shortcomings inherited from the original tanks, as a tractor it performed well enough to remain in service until the mid-1940s.
