1/72 German T-34/85 Mod., Poland, 1944
When the German armed forces first encountered the Russian T-34 with its 76mm
gun and well-sloped armor, they were shocked by its superior qualities. Germany
countered with its technologically advanced Panther tank. Correspondingly, in
the race to produce better and more powerful tanks, the Russians introduced
its T-35/85 model, boasting a larger turret that accommodated an 85mm main gun.
Due to shortages in their own armored units, the hard-pressed Germans often
adopted captured Russian tanks into their ranks.
This new title features a T-34/85 in service with an unidentified German tank
unit fighting in Poland in 1944. As such, the tank still retains its original
Russian green coloring, though the crew has hand-painted a rough balkenkreuze
and vehicle number on the turret sides.
Main Features:
- features a captured T-34/85 that appeared on the Eastern Front
- historically accurate "hybrid" paint scheme with German national
markings
