When the German armed forces first encountered the Russian T-34 with its
76mm gun and well-sloped armor, they were shocked by its superior
qualities. Germany countered with its technologically advanced Panther
tank. Correspondingly, in the race to produce better and more powerful
tanks, the Russians introduced its T-35/85 model, boasting a larger
turret that accommodated an 85mm main gun. Due to shortages in their own
armored units, the hard-pressed Germans often adopted captured Russian
tanks into their ranks.
This is precisely the case with Dragon new 1/35 scale kit release.
It portrays a T-34/85 built by factory No.112 in 1944 but in service
with German tank unit. Dragon has done a fine job of replicating the
characteristics peculiar to this type. This kit also includes some
updated features such as lifting hooks on the turret sides, as well as
Magic Tracks that make assembly more convenient. Moreover, two different
types of road wheels are included. This delightful model is finely
produced with loads of details, and of the highest standard available on
the market. What modelers will find here are all the ingredients to
create a compelling Eastern Front scene…a Soviet tank in German service!
