Historical overview: The T-20 "Komsomolets" was designed in 1936, and production started just a year later at Moscow Factory No. 37, followed by STZ and GAZ plants. It was a light, armored tractor intended for towing anti-tank guns (e.g., 45 mm) as well as heavy 120 mm mortars. In addition to weapons, the tractor carried a small amount of ammunition and the crew – up to six soldiers. The design was widely used on all fronts of the Eastern theater of war and sometimes towed double ammunition trailers, increasing frontline supply capacity.

Product category: Plastic assembly model kit for advanced and intermediate modelers.

Build difficulty level: 3/5 – the model requires precise assembly; the number of details and photo-etched parts provide a moderate challenge, especially regarding the assembly of individual track links.
