The advanced Soviet T-34 tank design proved a nasty surprise to German troops
when it was first confronted in the invasion of Russia in 1941. By the time
of Operation Barbarossa, a total of 967 T-34s were available, though thousands
more were to be manufactured by the end of WWII in improved forms. The T-34
Model 1941 featured an improved F-34 76.2mm gun with superior antitank performance
than its predecessor.
The Dragon Armor range now includes a T-34/76 Mod. 1941 from the 116th Tank
Brigade. The 1/72 scale model is shown as a tank fighting in 1942, with the
name “Lazo” emblazoned on the sides of the turret. Many tanks were daubed with
painted slogans, a practice commonly used by Russians to boost morale. In this
case, Sergey Lazo was a Communist leader at the time of the October 1917 Revolution
in the Far East of Russia. This model is expertly assembled and finished by
craftsmen, and it is full of accurate detail. Dragon is extremely pleased to
offer this model of the legendary tank that shouldered the burden of combat
in The Great Patriotic War.
