1:32 Scale T-34-85 Medium Tank

The first generation T-34 Medium tank Made its debut in combat during the summer of 1941, when the Wehrmacht launched its invasion of the Soviet Union. The T-34 easily outclassed the German pzkpfw III and IV models, Thanks to its hard-hitting 76. 2mm main gun, thick frontal armor, wide tracks, and overall superior mobility. The first t-34s were assembled at Kharkov, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, then moved behind the ural mountains when the German advance encircled Leningrad, Overran Kharkov, and invested the "city of Stalin". Legend has it that some t-34s rolled off the Stalingrad assembly line unpainted and even unfinished to prevent the Nazi invaders from capturing the city. First appearing in 1944, the model 1944 T-34/85 tank was fitted with a 85mm zis-s-53 main gun. The radio set was relocated from the hull to the turret and the commander's cupola was relocated further rearwards. It also featured a new gun sight.
