A 3rd Nationality to our Growing Tank Lineup
A WWII tank collection just wouldn't be complete without a
Russian tank, and what better Russian tank than the T34, highly
regarded as the finest all-round tank of WWII. Line this highly
detailed T34/76 tank next to the German Tiger I and U.S. Sherman
and get a true sense of WWII battlefield action.
About the Russian Tank T34/76 Model 1941 (Cast Turret)
Introduced in 1940, the Russian T34 was designed for high
production levels, featuring a very simplified structure.
Powered by a highly fuel efficient 500hp V-2 12-cylinder diesel
engine, and fitted with Christie type suspension, the T34
boasted efficiency and mobility. The T34/76 was mounted with a
monstrous 76.2mm gun, and used innovative sloped armor.
Featuring the perfect balance of superior defense, mobility,
striking power, maintenance and mass production, the T34 is
widely regarded as the best all-round tank of WWII. The 1941
T34/76 featured distinctive cast turret and hand rails for the
crew on the hull and turret. Widely deployed in the 1943 Battle
of Kursk, the T34/76 spearheaded a hard-fought counter attack
against German Tiger I and Panther tanks.
Die-cast Lower Hull Adds Weight and Realism
Like other tanks featured in this fantastic series, the T34/76
also features a die-cast lower hull. The added heaviness ensures
that even this compact 138mm model features solid, realistic
weight. The suspension arms are also molded as a single piece to
provide extra strength and stability. For an easy finish, the
die-cast lower hull even comes pre-coated.
