Historical Background
The T-34/85 emerged as a vital evolution of the iconic T-34 platform, first introduced in 1944. Featuring a more powerful 85 mm gun and improved turret design, the T-34/85 maintained the series’ hallmark sloped armor and robust diesel engine, elevating Soviet armored warfare well into the final years of WWII. Protective shields and MTO (Motorno-Transmissionsnoe Otdelenie) grids provided enhanced defense against shrapnel, debris, and small arms fire. By adding these photo-etched shields, you honor the tank’s evolutionary design, reflecting the Red Army’s efforts to bolster crew and engine survival in the face of relentless Axis opposition.
How to Use
Follow these steps to enhance your model:
- Clean any existing plastic grid or shield detail from the kit parts if needed.
- Use fine nippers or a sharp blade to carefully detach the brass pieces from the fret.
- Shape or bend components according to the color instructions for proper alignment.
- Secure each piece with cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or a similar adhesive.
