Approximately 1,600 twin-turret tanks were built across armament configurations; this is not a total for the mixed cannon-and-machine-gun version alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe twin-turret design illustrates the Red Army’s early infantry-support doctrine and the transition toward a more capable single gun turret. T-26s remained in service into the Second World War, although individual twin-turret vehicles and later single-turret tanks had different service histories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order in your selected scale.
