The T-34/85 is a recognised wartime workhorse, and this Italeri kit recreates the essential features that made the vehicle effective. The model focuses on proportion and the key 1943 turret and armament updates that distinguished the T-34/85.
Early T-34 designs already had sloped armour and wide tracks for mobility. Upgrading to the 85 mm gun and a larger turret gave the T-34/85 the punch required to engage heavier German tanks on a range of terrain types.
Parts are laid out to provide a hands-on building experience, with choices between glued rubber tracks and link-and-length assemblies to suit display preference. Interior fittings and the engine are modelled to give depth to the finished build and allow additional weathering work.
