The T-34 is a Soviet medium tank first produced in 1940. It was the mainstay of Soviet armored forces throughout WWII, and widely exported afterwards. A few T-34s remained in use until the 1990s. It was developed from the BT series of Fast Tanks, but meant to replace the T-28 medium. When first built, it was the tank with the best balance of firepower, mobility, and protection in existence. By the end of WWII, its production had replaced all other Soviet tank designs except for a small number of Iosef Stalin heavy tanks. This multi-role design greatly influenced the development of Main Battle Tanks in the late 20th century.
Designed to replace the Soviet BT-5, BT-7 and T-26 infantry tanks, the T-34 was produced between 1940 and 1958. The T-34 is often regarded as one of the most successful and most influential tanks of the era. It was WWII's most highly produced tank and history's second most highly produced tank. The T-34 had a powerful engine, wide tracks and heavy armor. It was continuously refined, and by 1944 had gained a more powerful 85mm gun and a superior three-man turret design. The success of the T-34 can be measured in part by its longevity-by 1996, T-34s were still serving in 27 nations around the world. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Dragon's 1:72 scale T-34 medium tanks are true collector's pieces. The top portion of the model's hull and turret is constructed entirely of diecast plastic, which allows for the greatest possible detail, and the lower hull is constructed of diecast metal. Each release features a 360-degree rotating turret with elevating cannon and a variety of battlefield equipment configurations separately attached to the hull, such as tow cables, spare tracks and tools. The series includes early variants as well as mid-war production variants with notable upgrades such as a commander's cupola and a larger mid-war hexagonal shaped cast turret.
