Tamiya300035059-1:35 WWII Russian Battle Tank T-34/76, 1942/43 (3).

Cheap & cheerful 1.35 Scale kit from Tamiya. Probably from an old mould but fits together really well & easy enough for kids to get involved with. Tracks are rubber but fit together easily, and can be tensioned using a movable axle on the front most wheels (don't stick the main body together until you've got the Tracks on). Enough detail on the parts to allow you to paint & weather to your hearts content (mine was brush painted with humbrol enamel, then dry brushed with artists acrylics).Nice kit, cheap, looks good painted up.

This is a great kit. The plastic is thicker than the Zvezda kits and has a nice rough look to it. I always use twisted wire for the tow ropes instead of the plastic ones supplied, and the figures are very good too. One of them actually looks like Vladimir Putin. There are two towing bits at the front of the tank, which weren't there in real life but were added to the tank in Bovington Proving ground (I think), which is where Tamiya took all the photos of the T34. You get a choice of Kursk- era turret roof or post- Kursk era roof. As you can see, I used two of each on my Kharkov diorama; the older, slightly more damaged tanks have pre- Kursk roofs. Some interior detail would have been nice; I scratch- built some on the destroyed tank.

Cheap and good

Bought as a gift. Since Been told that Tamiya models don’t have the same quality in there molds as air fix do. However , with a little extra work you can make them work

Brilliant kit at a great price. Easy to build and looks authentic.

Just started Tank Model,s.This one look,s great.

Wasn't expecting much for such an old 70's kit and only paying 18 quid for it.Apart from the figures the level of detail is fantastic. The rubber band tracks arent detailed on the inside, wheel side, but covered in mud and they look great.I know its old but £18 for this detail is a steal.

Great price on a all time classic piece of Russian machinery.
