Dragon T-34/85 Mod Germany Army Poland 1944

REF:60249 Scale 1.72 Length 80mm

Dragon Armor’s 1:72 scale T-34/85 model 1944 is depicted in the authentic markings of the German Army in Poland during 1944. Dragon Armor carefully researches models to ensure that every detail is historically accurate – from the tooling to the realistic weathered camouflage scheme to the markings. The T-34 is considered to be one of the best tanks of the Second World War and is credited with being the war’s most effective, efficient and influential design. The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank produced between 1941 and 1958.

The design and construction of the tank were continuously refined during the war to improve effectiveness and decrease costs. In late 1943, the improved T-34/85 was introduced with a more powerful 85mm gun and a three man turret design. Using the Soviet style nomenclature, ‘model 1944’ distinguishes the minor improvements made to the original T-34/85. Model 1944 improvements included a simpler ZiS-S-53 85mm gun, radio moved from the hull into a turret with improved layout and new gunner’s sight.

Very few captured T-34/85’s were pressed into service by the German Army as the German Office wanted to examine and test their new acquisition. In mid 1944, 5th SS Panzer Division ‘Wiking’ pressed the T-34/85 into service on the Vistula front near Warsaw. The Dragon Armor 1:72 scale series is a great scale to collect, the attention to detail is superb offering exceptional quality at a great price. Models are presented on a plinth and packaged in an acrylic display case. Length is measured for the body only and excludes the gun barrel.
