Revell 1/35 T-34/76 (Model 1943)
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2016 6:12 pm
My New Years resoloution is to build more as I only managed to complete 3 builds last year, so I'm starting off with this Ruskie Tank for this GB while waiting for my F-16 to arrive for the Fighting Falcon SIG..... Plus I'm hoping to enter at least another 3 or 4 GB's so wish me luck! 
Had this in the stash for a while, so its the perfect opportunity to get it built......
A snippet of History from the box:
At the beginning of the Russian campaign, the Russian T-34 Main Battle Tank came as a shock to the German troops. It combined mobility with armour protection and firepower in an almost perfect way. The 1943 model features a 76.2mm F-34 main armament and 100 rounds of ammunition. Its weight was 31 tonnes and its engine delivered 500 bhp enabling a maximum speed of 55km/h (33mph).
Between 1940 and 1944, a total of 35,000 T-34/76's were built. The German Wehrmacht could only counter the T-34 after the Panther and Tiger tanks were developed and entered service.

Made a start this afternoon:
No real problems so far. Couple of iffy fit issues as the upper hull seems to be slightly warped. Chairs were a bit fiddly (5 parts each), which I suppose I could of left out really as the whole things going to be closed up! But hey ho. Be back at it later
