Simply stunning as always. Just magnificent work! Now, it's back to envy-town for me.

Barrels are too thick; these look like 88's.

A wonderful paint job and weathering… well done, well done!

Nicely painted but the turret top details don't look right for any T34-76 photos I've found. The hatch looks too small and I haven't found any with the prominent "mushroom" on the hatch. Periscope(s) seem to have been mounted in front of the hatch and I also haven't seen any with a large ventilation opening in the single hatch.

Nope, none of these criticisms seem to be valid -- these are, after all, early model T-34/76 tanks Mod. 1940, AKA t-34/40, and the hatches and turret roof appear to be spot on for what the tanks are obviously supposed to represent.

I concur with porfirio rubirosa, these are bang on with my references, dig a little deeper my friend…… and the camo is correct as well…..

Agreed entirely – looks bang on for an early model, eg:

The hatch did get bigger and lose the ventilator, but the model's earlier than that.

These are splendid beasties and makes me wish I'd got some 28mm WW2.

Still will have to make do with my 20mm WW2 and my 28mm Napoleonics.

A Bientot,

Little beauties – but will they fight?

Excellent painting but they are on bases! Why would you put an AFV model on a base? It's not going to fall over!

Troop of Shewe Fezian27 Oct 2012 2:10 p.m. PST

It comes with the base……….
