The IT-1 was a Soviet Cold War missile tank based around the hull of the T-62. The tank fired specially designed 3M7 Drakon missiles from a pop-up launcher. It saw very limited service between 1968 and 1970. The large dead zone around the tank created by the missiles' minimum range combined with the limited amount of ammunition carried made it unpopular with the military. This plastic model kit is an accurate representation of the military vehicle.
