Small but Detailed: Tamiya 32515 1/48 T-34/76 Model 1941

This Tamiya 1/48 scale T-34/76 from 1941 delivers a compact, well-proportioned model of one of the era's most decisive tanks. Valued for its efficient design, mobility and battlefield presence, the T-34/76 shaped many Eastern Front encounters. The kit captures defining elements of the vehicle so collectors and builders can appreciate its historical and engineering significance at a reduced scale.

Historical Notes and Engineering Traits

The T-34/76 entered production in 1940 and rapidly became a staple of Soviet armour in WWII. Equipped with a reliable 500hp V-2 diesel and a Christie suspension, it balanced operational range with rugged performance. The 76.2mm gun coupled with angled armour offered notable combat advantages. This 1941 variant's cast turret is reproduced faithfully in the model.

What to Expect During the Build

The kit includes a die-cast lower hull to provide realistic mass and a steady base for the model. One-piece suspension arms improve strength and alignment, making assembly smoother. The pre-coated die-cast hull cuts down on finishing work and helps achieve an authentic appearance. It makes a fine companion piece to other WWII models like the Tiger I or Sherman.

Specifications

Yes, the finished 1/48 scale model is compact and sturdy thanks to the die-cast lower hull, making it well suited to display cabinets or desktop showcases.
Use cyanoacrylate or epoxy for bonding metal-to-plastic joints. Standard polystyrene cement works for the plastic components, but test fit parts first for best results.
Subtle weathering looks most convincing on 1/48 models. Light washes, pin washes and drybrushing give depth without obscuring fine details.
No, 1/35 parts are noticeably larger. For this 1/48 kit look for accessories specifically made for 1/48 scale to keep proportions correct.
