1st Corps 1/50 T34/85
The T34 was originally armed with a 76.2 mm gun which was adequate against the armour of early German Panzer MKIII and MKIV tanks. By mid 1942 with the appearance of more heavily armoured variants the T34/76 had difficulty penetrating the thicker frontal armour. As a result the 76.2 mm gun was upgraded to the 85mm version which was powerful enough penetrate Tiger I armour at close ranges.
This model comes as a resin and metal kit. Retailing at £18.

Lovely looking model, with great track sag. However although they’re more expensive I think I prefer the hard plastic T34’s by Rubicon – although I don’t think they’re 85mm version is out yet…
