T-34/76 Soviet Medium Tank

The T-34 tank design is arguably the most important tank of all time with over 84;000 made and innovative design features.

The T-34/76 first saw action in late 1941; and was a significant leap forward in tank design a rugged; no-nonsense anatomy and wide tracks enabled it to cope with the mud and snow of the Eastern Front. It married the perfect combination of thick; sloped armour and an efficient gun; along with extreme sturdiness; reliability; ease of manufacturing and maintenance.

German tanks struggled in the cold conditions of the Eastern Front the rubber peeling away from the road wheels; engines being slow to start and needing to be slowly warmed-up; machine guns jamming constantly; and the narrow tracks of the Panzer III and IV causing them to sink into the snow and mud. The T-34s ran circles around the struggling German hardware especially as the Luftwaffe was more often than not grounded due to the bad weather; so couldn’t harry the Soviets.

This kit allows you the option of assembling the tank as either the 1941; 1942; or 1943 pattern T-34/76 each with their distinctive turrets.
