Best 1/35 T-34?

Post by LucasFromSweden »

I would really like to make a T-34 Model 1943/42, but which one should I choose? Prize and interior doesn't matter. However, I really hate Tamiya's rubber tracks.

afv club has a real nice t34/76 kit with full interior. I have the kit. real nice detail. only thing id recomend is getting a set of afv club workabke tracks with it. the rubber ones that come with it are not the best. but the rest of the kit is great!

My vote is for the Dragon kit, however the Tamiya

is a simple build which you could replace the tracks with metal ones.

WarFare in scale built an early Tamiya kit over on YouTube and it looked amazing .


Its in spanish but has subtitles.

But The Dragon kits are great.

Currently working on that same kit Lucas, it's a great kit! :thumb2:

Watch out for turret construction though as they don't show you putting on the pistol ports on the rear and sides of the turret in the instructions; they just show them already on :scratch:: The parts are on the L sprue :D
