Quality

Plastic parts can be divided into two groups. Parts of the hull, wheels and tracks are acceptable, they are very similar to Eastern Expres kit. The rest of parts, which makes the difference between this vehicle and standard T-34’s (winch, plough, superstructure), is rough, thick and easy to break.  Many of them should be replaced with something „better-looking“.

Note & overall impression

The T-34 tank served as ARV’s during the WWII as well as many years after. This kit should represent a vehicle used during the war by the Red Army.

This kit is just for the Red Army enthusiasts. Be ready for hard work, requiring some experience and masochism.
