Airfix T34 Tank AIR01316 (1/76)
About the Vehicle
The T-34 was one of the most influential tanks of the Second World War and a cornerstone of the Soviet Red Army’s armored forces. Introduced in 1940, the T-34 combined strong sloped armor, a powerful main gun, and wide tracks that allowed it to operate effectively across mud, snow, and rough terrain. These design features gave the tank a major advantage during the early years of the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
By 1943 the improved T-34/85 variant began appearing with a larger turret and a more powerful 85mm gun, allowing it to better combat German heavy tanks such as the Panther and Tiger. Mass-produced in enormous numbers, the T-34 became a symbol of Soviet industrial strength and played a decisive role on the Eastern Front and in the final push toward Berlin.
