Plastic model kit 1:100 Zvezda 6290 T-70B Tank.

T-70B - a modernized version of the T-70, developed from July 1942, production began in October of the same year, at the GAZ plant in Gorky and at plant No. 38 in Kirov. Modification "B" differed from the early T-70 tanks with a new reinforced undercarriage, a modified exhaust system and a new driver's hatch. At the very end of 1942, a new welded pistol mask was introduced, and in the spring of 1943 exhaust pipe guards and a stamped driver's hatch appeared. The T-70Bs were armed with a 45 mm 20-K gun and a 7.62 mm DT machine gun, and the hull was armored with plates 15-45 mm thick. Maneuverability was provided by two twin car engines with a total power of 70 horsepower, so the tank did not make a louder noise than a regular truck. The T-70B became the second largest Soviet tank during the war.
