Footnotes

1. T–26. Source: Russian Military Zone. The T–26 obr.1931 had two turrets each with one DT MG. Later models had only one turret. [up]

2. T–27. Source: Red Steel. [up]

3. T–37. Source: Jentz, Thomas L: Panzer Truppen Vol 1 and Red Steel. Red Steel gives armour as 4–9mm, Jentz gives a detailed breakdown as shown. [up]

4. T–38. Source: Red Steel. I have tentatively specified this as riveted because “…this machine closely resembled the original T–37”. [up]
