$12.33 USD per plastic 15mm tank? With resin turrets. Not that it makes it that much better… Damon. |

Wow, Zvezda sells a 1940 with correct hull details for a tiny fraction of that price. And all in plastic. Granted, you need to drill and put in a little piece of wire for the hull MG. But that's not much. |

Two words… Zvezda, anyone? The picture on the bottom of their box is not quit the T-34 obr 40 we were expecting. I hope BF figures this one out and fixes it. |
Capt John Miller | 30 Nov 2014 4:02 p.m. PST |
Pig, you beat me to it! I have many of the Zvezda tanks. They fill the need quite well not only for 1941, but 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945! Ah, the power of proxy! |

I was quite excited when I saw this, then I saw the price, its Zvezda for me until PSC come out with something nice… |

Doesn't PSC have T-34's you can use for EW all ready? |

The FOW box says 1/100 scale. I don't see that scale in the Zvezda catalog … MH |

One thing I do like a lot….. it really is 3 tanks for $12.33 USD… following the "other model"…. BF designed the plastic box set to contain 5 tanks with 2 turrets, decals and rare earth magnets.. thus making their kit superior to me than the previously released "other" tank box (of which I own 3)…. so I bought 2 of the BF boxes with 2 turrets…. And now… you get all 3 turrets (3 are resin) so you can make 3 versions of the T-34 from one box set… Honestly, since their rules are geared around boxes of 5… I would prefer to see a price increase and still get the 5 tanks. As a person who runs predominantly East Front actions/games…. I own over 60 T-34's…. I have the Stalingrad ones, early, mid and late wiht the upgraded turrets…. Getting one tank with 3 turrets, representing an "all in one" model so to speak for $12.33 USD goes a LONG way to keeping me happy…. instead of spending lots on 3 individual models… I only need 1 now and swap out turrets. I think it is a grand idea. And unless you are a dedicated East Front player… you simply won't see this cost savings! |

Doesn't PSC have T-34's you can use for EW all ready? I think the PSC one only comes with turrets for the 1942 version (the hex-shaped one) and the T34/85. So really more mid-late war. |
