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.

Visit the website for more Russian vehicles including T34/76, SU122, SU85 and several variations of
Zis truck. Next show:
Vapnartak, Sunday 1st Feb, Knavemere suite, York Racecourse.
