1/35 T34/85 UTZ Model ~ Premium Edition
This kit has received many modifications, the most remarkable of which is the
"mattress spring" armor that was added to many T-34 turrets and hulls near the
close of the war. This type of armor is often seen on photos of T-34/85s in
such combat as the Battle for Berlin.
This protective armor is formed from photo-etched metal parts on the kit. The
same material, as well as metal, is also used for many other components (e.g.
air-intake louvers). These additions provide a comprehensive upgrade in the
level of detail. Modelers are even given the option of assembling a flamethrower
version of the tank!
A number of factories produced the T-34 during WWII, with one of the largest
being the Ural Tank Factory, or UTZ for short.
