Historical Background

During World War II, Soviet tanks such as the T-34, IS, and ISU were designed for deep penetration into enemy territory. However, their powerful engines consumed fuel at a high rate, necessitating the use of external fuel tanks to extend operational range. These cylindrical tanks were mounted on the rear and sides of the tanks, providing crucial additional fuel capacity without compromising armor protection. This detailing set accurately replicates these fuel tanks, allowing modelers to create historically precise and visually striking builds of Soviet armored vehicles.

Follow these steps for an outstanding T-34, IS, or ISU build:

1. Carefully cut out each brass fuel tank component from the photo-etch board.
