Italeri 7078 - 1/72 T-34 Model 1943 - Compact historical model

The Italeri 7078 - 1/72 T-34 Model 1943 reproduces a key Soviet tank in a small but detailed format. Intended for modellers who value accurate outlines and period details, this kit makes a solid addition to a collection or a themed diorama.

Historical background and modelling takeaway

The T-34 proved decisive because of its balance of protection and mobility. This 1943 issue adds the refinements introduced that year, and the kit's components reflect those changes. Builders get a clear sense of the tank's engineering while working through a satisfying assembly sequence.

Customisation and display suggestions

Included are decals covering five versions plus a colour instruction sheet to guide paint choices and markings. At 1/72 scale the model suits grouped displays, transport vehicles, or compact terrain pieces where space is limited.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/72
  • Construction material - PS plastic
  • Requires assembly - glue needed
  • Paints - not supplied

Is this kit suitable for someone new to armour models?

Yes, while it contains fine detail it is compact and straightforward. New builders should take time with cleaning parts and dry fitting before gluing to ensure neat joins.

Can I use aftermarket paints and weathering products?

Absolutely. Standard modelling paints, washes and pigments work well on PS plastic. Test compatibility if using solvent-based products and consider a primer for best adhesion.

Are the decals water slide or sticker type?

The decals are traditional water slide transfers. Use decal softener sparingly on curved surfaces for a more painted-on look.

What reference material should I use for finishing?

Period photos and unit paint guides are best for authentic schemes. The instruction sheet lists recommended colours to help you match typical 1943 finishes.
