Product: 1:35 Sov. T34/85 Med. Mainbattletank
The T34/85 was built with the aim of overpowering the new and improved
German Tiger and Panther tanks which the Russian forces were
encountering. It was given a powerful 85mm main gun and a 3-man turret
enclosed by cast-iron heavy armor, while the hull featured sloped armor.
Nonetheless, it was a relatively lightweight vehicle and thanks to the
power supplied by the 500hp V-12 diesel engine was very maneuverable.
Around 29,000 were produced between late 1943 and June 1945, and
together with its predecessor the T34/76 it provided the impetus for the Russian advance on Berlin.
