Thanks my friend, building this really reminded me of my favorite novel "The Last Citadel" by David Robbins about the Battle of Kursk. It is so well written you feel like you are really there inside the T-34, with the commanders feet on your shoulders telling you to speed up, stop or slow down as you drive your T-34.

Thanks Guys!! Anyone know what those slogans mean? I saw a page once that had them all on it and their translations but I dont remember where now. For those of you fimilar with the kit I did not include the fuel boxes or the antenna on purpose to give it a more classic T-34 look, only the platoon leaders had radios anyway.

Jon the slogan I am told by a Polish friend means "hit the fascists" - closest English meaning.

Sweet early T34. I like the simple paint job and weathering. Just the right effect.

That is one I got from Wartoybunker, its from a GI-Joe and fits the indiana jones soviets perfect. I have 1/16 soviet helmets that fit 21st Century figures as they run big but were to big for the indy figures so this worked out great!pickelhaube wrote:It looks great.
