The T-37 were used in large numbers during the Soviet invasion of Poland and in the Winter War against Finland. The T-37 was also used by the Soviets in the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, but most of them were quickly lost.

The first prototypes of this vehicle were built in 1931-1933, and the car entered service in 1933. The combat weight of the tank was up to 3.2 tons. The drive was provided by a single 40 HP GAZ-AA carburettor engine.

Initially, the prototypes of the T-37 caused a lot of problems, but they were removed when the vehicle was put into series production. It is worth adding that the T-37A version was mainly produced in its course. However, several development versions, projects or prototypes were created, among which the following can be mentioned: SU-37 (a project of a self-propelled gun armed with a 45mm cannon), OT-37 (a version with a flamethrower) or the T-37RT (a command vehicle with handrail antenna). The T-37 vehicles were used in combat during the aggression against Poland in September 1939, during the Winter War (1939-1940) and in the initial phase of the German-Soviet war in 1941.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-02-21T15:37:32+02:00","created_at":"2025-02-21T15:37:29+02:00","vendor":"Hobby Boss","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Hobby Boss","Category_Armour \/ Military","Scale_1\/35 Scale","Type_Landing Craft","Type_Tanks \/ Tracked AFVs"],"price":67995,"price_min":67995,"price_max":67995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":46946766848251,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"6939319238184","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hobby Boss - 1\/35 Soviet T-37 Amphibious Light Tank - Early (83818)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":67995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-Soviet-T-37-Amphibious-Light-Tank---Early--83818.jpg?v=1740145052"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-Soviet-T-37-Amphibious-Light-Tank---Early--83818.jpg?v=1740145052","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38207644696827,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.504,"height":681,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-Soviet-T-37-Amphibious-Light-Tank---Early--83818.jpg?v=1740145052"},"aspect_ratio":1.504,"height":681,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Hobby-Boss---1-35-Soviet-T-37-Amphibious-Light-Tank---Early--83818.jpg?v=1740145052","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/35 Soviet T-37 Amphibious Light Tank - Early\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHobby Boss 83818\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe T-37 was a Soviet amphibious light tank.
