Tamiya 1:35 T-34/76 ChTZ

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of Russian medium tank in 1:35 scale.

By the end of 1941, the military and economic situation of the USSR was at least uninteresting. The German troops were on the east, dangerously approaching the largest Soviet factories. It was decided to evacuate all the plants behind the Urals. One of the largest complexes created was Tankograd - Chelyabinsky Tractor Factory Josef Stalin. The time spent on installing the production line at the new location was not wasted. Soviet engineers have managed to simplify the design of the T-34 and significantly reduce the cost of its production. The T-34 produced in Chelyabinsk had a new fully cast hexagonal turret, a new gearbox, and an improved engine. These improvements had a significant impact on performance and quality of construction. There were, however, material shortages and personnel shortages resulting in incomplete, factory defective or damaged T-34s. It did not matter, however, at the astronomical number of 35,000 tanks produced in the T-34/76 version.

The Tamiya kit allows you to build Soviet model T-34/76 ChTZ Mid-World War II tank model. The kit includes two models of red -arm arms and WKM DSzK on a trolley, which can be used to create dioramas. The box contains 2 hull elements, 3 frames parts with model parts, rubber tracks, a metal axle, and decals (allow the reconstruction of the tank in Soviet service as well as the German vehicle).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
