Product Description
Build a masterpiece wartime tank with a kit that also reproduces the interior
[About the actual car]
The Soviet Army, alarmed by the appearance of the German Tiger I tanks during World War II, thoroughly investigated and studied the captured Tiger I tanks.
It was concluded that the 76.2 mm gun of the T-34 main battle tank was not powerful enough, and that the 55-caliber 85 mm anti-aircraft gun was barely capable of countering it.
Based on this, development of a more powerful 85mm tank gun was carried out.
It was equipped with an 85mm gun, which was larger than the 76.2mm gun, and a large turret was developed to accommodate three personnel: the commander, gunner, and loader.
The T-34/85 was standardized in 1944, but the production system for the planned S-53 85mm tank gun was not yet ready, so in the meantime, a type equipped with the S-5T tank gun, which had been developed for the IS heavy tank but was not adopted, was produced.
Later, with the mass production of the S-53 tank gun, production of the T-34/85 was shifted to the S-53 type.
By the end of the war in 1945, over 18,000 had been produced, and production continued after the war, bringing the total number of this masterpiece tank to over 25,000.
[About the model]
This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces in 1/35 scale the 85mm gun-equipped T-34 main battle tank used by the Soviet Army from World War II through the postwar period.
The parts are made by Italeri and the finished overall length is 23.3cm.
This model not only reproduces the shape of the vehicle that made it a masterpiece tank, but also reproduces the interior in detail.
The upper details of the V12 engine are reproduced in the center of the vehicle, and the transmission is reproduced behind it. In addition, the cockpit's control pedals and arms in the forward fighting compartment are also reproduced.
In addition, the interior of the enlarged T-34/85 turret is also faithfully modeled.
The large turret's distinctive curved design and the texture of the casting surface have been faithfully reproduced, giving the model a sense of texture and weight.
The upper part of the vehicle body is modeled as a single piece, featuring an excellent bullet-resistant design.
Details such as the external fuel tank and the handrails installed on various parts of the vehicle are also reproduced in detail, enhancing the realism of the finished product.
The lower part of the vehicle is also molded as a single piece, and the wheels are modeled as perforated types.
The tracks are partly connected and partly one-piece, making assembly easy.
This is a fully detailed kit that allows you to carefully recreate a masterpiece tank from the war.
