 | T-34 OMG another tank!  I don't know what came over me, but I did another tank!... It's a random choice of subject - an early T-34, with the short 76mm gun...

| Tanks aren't my thing, but it looks good, Clave. Here I thought you had done a Mentor.

| Hallo Clave !!! Finally something different.I like it.The T34 looks very good.However,a side front part of the turret looks a bit different from these in the pics.It looks like the one which the later models of T-34 were equipped with.As I remember the early T-34 turret was welded but not moulded.In your profile it looks like the moulded one.I've upload a couple of pics and drawings of the early ( 1940) T-34.I hope it would help you to correct the pic. BTW You have a gift.Have I told you that yet?

| Thanks for that... I have a hell of a lot learn about tanks. I knew something was wrong, but the references I had were not helping me at all... Still... it looks like a fairly easy fix, and I'll raise the drive wheels a tad at the same time (as pointed out elsewhere) Oh, and next time, I'll post here first, for Wurger's expert appraisal...

I also like "Matilda " infantry tank and "Cromwell" one.So maybe your next one could be one of them.

| WOW !!!! Clave,  this is an excellent work,and a small suggestion - maybe any number and description on the turret,"for Stalin" or "for Country" in Russian of course.I have to find something in some books about T-34.I'll send you pics if I find something interesting.

| Thanks Gnomey! And Wurger: I did have a quick scout around, and also failed to find any markings - maybe I should do the long-barrelled one?

| I think yes,but the models from 1941/42 had also short barrels,the differences were with their covering in a front part of a turret.And of course the models were marked with many kinds of descriptions as I could see in the pics.Do you need drawings,etc..? There an interesting link to a site with some nice drawings and profiles : The Russian Battlefield

| There three pics of T-34 model of 1941/42/43.Notice,please,the small red star at the front of covering of the barrel fixing ( the second pic ).In the third pic notice the additional one on the side board of the hull.I think it could be written using a piece of a chalk.It's a pity that the description is unreadable.

| Interesting... thanks! I think those three are of the next model - around 1941? the gun is definitely different...

| Hey Clave, Excellent work! Maybe you could try a type VII U Boat sometime? I was looking at those three photos Wurger posted and it looks like the Russians weren't much for standardization of markings were they? I suppose in their situation who gave a rats butt about markings.

| Thanks doug! And I'm sure you're right about the markings... wartime is different... But, if anyone (Wurger) can find a marking for mine, it would be appreciated - You can see the difference by looking at the barrel - it is short, set low, and the mount has rounded edges not sharp corners...
