Why this kit matters
The Soviet T-34 was one of the most important tanks of World War II, and its sloped armor and powerful gun took the German army by surprise in 1941. As the war progressed, the Germans captured large numbers of T-34s and pressed them into service, often with modifications to suit their own needs. These captured T-34s, designated as Panzerkampfwagen T-34(r), were used in a variety of roles, from training to front-line combat. This kit offers a unique glimpse into the resourcefulness and adaptability of both sides of the conflict and allows you to recreate a vehicle that saw service with both the Red Army and the Wehrmacht.
Building this model allows you to recreate a fascinating piece of WWII military history in detailed miniature, while also exploring the complexities of warfare and the challenges of maintaining a fighting force. The German T-34/76 747 (R) is an unusual and intriguing vehicle, and this kit captures the essence of its design and operational history. The finished model serves as a tribute to the ingenuity of the soldiers and engineers who kept these tanks running and a reminder of the brutal realities of the Eastern Front.
