Text in original Preserved Soviet Tanks publication:

This tank is in full running order and is occasionally displayed at Kubinka open days. It is believed that it may also be the third MS that was previously on display at the Central Armed Forces Museum.

Text in original Preserved Tanks In Russia publication:

This is an example of the first tank of largely Soviet design, the MS (“Maliy Soprovozhdeniya” or Small Support Vehicle) light tank. Also known as the T-18, it was based on the KS but had a new, more compact engine compartment, a new engine and new suspension. This one is fitted with mock up roadwheels, turret and guns, and T-54 tracks cut in half lengthways. The replica turret is laterally inverted (sources: R. Fleming, R. Stickland).
