This Soviet toy tank, model "ДC 8.5", is an electromechanical toy from the late Soviet and early post-Soviet period, made at the Rivne Radiotechnical Plant in Ukraine. It has a bright green plastic body modeled on the T-34/85 silhouette, a red star with the model decals and a wired remote control, and it comes in its original box.

- Body: Bright green plastic with red star and "ДC 8.5" decals
- Controls: Wired remote control with 4 buttons
- Feature: Light bulb in the barrel to simulate firing

Condition
The plastic is bright and well preserved, and the toy looks barely played with, a New Old Stock feel. The original cardboard box shows age-related wear, scuffs and minor creases, but it is structurally sound. The toy is untested because the required batteries were not available, so it is sold as-is, for parts, restoration or display. The battery compartment looks clean.
About This Piece
Toys with wired controllers and a flashing barrel bulb were a popular type of Soviet-era electromechanical toy. A boxed example with its passport and a box dated February 1992 marks the transition between the Soviet period and independent Ukraine, which collectors of Soviet toys and Cold War memorabilia find interesting.
