Spherical Fighting Vehicle is a plastic kit of an unrealized Soviet project for a spherical fighting vehicle in 1:35 scale from MiniArt, with a worked-out interior.
Responsibility details are not available.
The spherical fighting vehicle drawn from archive documents is among the most unusual subjects MiniArt has covered. Spherical Fighting Vehicle in 1:35 scale is a full plastic kit with a worked-out interior, so once the hatch is open the crew station and the drive mechanism stay in view.
The principle is simple and remarkable at the same time: the sphere rotates inside a ring that encircles it. The design stayed on paper as one of many ideas from Soviet wartime research into unusual armored layouts. That is exactly why the set appeals to builders who like the theme of projects that were never realized and of machines on the border between history and fantasy.
The interior fittings are painted and assembled before the shell is closed, because afterwards there is no way back to them. The rounded shape is awkward to mask, so liquid mask or thin strips of tape prove their worth. The ring around the sphere will take pronounced scuffing and traces of soil, which lend the whole thing credibility even though the subject never existed.
The set comes as sprues with no surface finish; the finishing is up to the modeler.
