In "Operation Citadel", the last huge-scale "T-34/76 Tank 1943 Model" after the year 1943 staged severe tank-to-tank fighting against new and powerful German tanks such as the "Panther" and "Tiger". In the Prokhorovka area, T-34 tanks of 1943 model in the 181st Guard Tank Brigade under the Russian Fifth Tank Army fought against Tiger tanks of the picked German SS Tank Divisions "Adolf Hitler" and "Das Reich", and this was the largest-scale tank-to-tank fighting ever staged during the WWII. If the T-34 tank of 1942 model could be called "Stalingrad", the excellent 1943 model well claimed the name of "Kursk". Product Features

The Tamiya Russian T34/76 '43 Tank is a nice kit. The model allows the choice of several options, including two slightly different turret tops (including different commander's cupola), the choice between all metal running wheels or a mix between metal and rubber lined running wheels, and between extra gas tanks or storage compartments at the rear of the tank. The kit includes extra tread sections, cables, two logs, and the normal shovel, pick, etc. The commander can be assembled with or without a flare gun. A driver and loader also come with the kit (all figures are half or three quarters bodies - no legs on any). Treads are the typical one piece rubber type that Tamiya regularly includes, but with good detail on both sides. My kit only contained instruction in Japanese, so it was a bit of a strugle to paint it acurately, but as with all Tamiya kits, the box art is excellent, so I was able to improvise. Overall, a very nice kit that turned out to be one of my favorite tank models.
