Been seeing one of the new Dragon T-34s (no camo) on a few websites, ordered mine today...finally some Russian armor...although with all my German pieces, it's going to be way outnumbered! Can't wait to see what Dragon did with this one!

DRAGON T-34

I just bought the new "standard" Dragon T-34s. I thinks it's absolutely suberb, one of the very best they've done. It certainly makes a welcome change fromall those panzers. The model is one of the very early T-34 versions and makes it the only Dagon model from the early part of the war (so far). It has no markings, as so many of the real ones did in 1941. The model cries out for some early model Pz IIIs and IVs to go with it.

Instead of the usual black plastic base it comes with imitation grass rather like some of the cyber hobby offerings and a painted background. I don't know whether this is going to be standard feature of Dragon models from now on. According to their catalogue there are at least three T-34 models to come (including one taken over by the Germns and modified). I look forward to these with eager anticipation. My recommedation. Get one pronto!

I agree, picked up two yesterday as well as the E100 and am impressed with both, it's nice to see something different, was getting tired of Tigers/Panthers and the like.

Hi,
No doubt a T-34/85 and Su-100 tank destroyer are in the works since they're based upon the T-34 chassis. I also think you can expect to see more early war tanks from here on out as well as a cacophany of allied armor, particularly variants of the Sherman.

What Dragon Armor T34 has been released? I thought only the Cyber Hobby editions have been out, and the first regular Dragon Armor T34's aren't expected until August.

The CyberHobby Exclusive T-34 (Fall - model no. 60158) has been out for a while - some (and I mean some) of the Spring T-34 CyberHobby Exclusive (model no. 60153) were available a while back.

The first standard release (60154) were made available last week.

And, as I was typing this reply, I received FedEx Pre-Delivery Notices for the Spring T-34s that seemed to be even more elusive than the Zitadelle. I should receive them on Thursday.

Do you mean 60134, I can't find any info on 60154.

Apologies - yes, the first standard release was 60134, not 60154.

Here's some pics of more upcoming T-34s...as graycap mentioned in his post, the one on the right looks like the captured German version.
