Flames of War: Finnish BT-42 Assault Gun (x1)

The BT-42 was a uniquely Finnish innovation, created by modifying captured Soviet BT-7 tanks with a British 114mm howitzer in a custom-designed turret. Used during the Continuation War against the Soviet Union, the BT-42 was intended to provide infantry support and engage fortified positions. Though limited in numbers and not particularly effective against enemy armor, it remains one of the most iconic and distinctive vehicles in Finland’s WWII arsenal.
