Type of kit polystyrene casting
Quality Castings from varicoloured polystyrene are layed-out into three frames. One is common with models of self-propelled guns SU-85/122 from identical producer, part containing upper part of hull is eliminated. Another frame contains tank parts, it is hull, tower and details, the last one tracks. Quality of castings is above-average, with fine and trustworthy details. Outlines faith of model is very accurate. Equipment (tools, boxes) is made separately. Extra pretty they are tracks from hard plastic. Like negative of kit I consider, that whilst driver's cover is separate and has also details on inside, both covers on tower they are made along with part of tower and who wants to make them separately, he must to cut off them. On the contrary to other version of this model here is added a frame with parts of mineroler PT-3. Model contains all necessary parts for standard tanks T-34/76 model 1942 and 1943 that used this mineroler.
Instruction sheet Instruction is the worst part of kit, it contains only lay-out of parts in frames and rather indistinct building progress. About model pattern, camouflage and placement of decalcomania here isn't not even word.
Decals Instruction is the worst part of kit, it contains only lay-out of parts in frames and rather indistinct building progress. About model pattern, camouflage and placement of decalcomania here isn't not even word. Decalcomania contrariwise it's very pretty, with good register and for number of versions, not only soviet, but also Czechoslovak tanks “Žižka” and “Lidice” and one Poland tank.
