1/35 Tamiya 35149 - T-34/76 ChTZ 1943 Classic Military Model Kit  [35149]

A close look at Tamiya 35149 T-34/76 ChTZ 1943

The Tamiya 1/35 Russian T-34/76 ChTZ 1943 kit recreates an important wartime vehicle from the Chelyabinsk Tractor Works, often called "Tankograd". This release captures the form and production character of Soviet mid-war armour in a scale suited to display and weathering.

Variant background and key features

The T-34/76 was a workhorse of Soviet armoured formations. ChTZ-built examples stand out because of their one-piece cast turret and softer rounded lines. This kit highlights those features while preserving the tank's practical crew layouts.

Assembly highlights and included parts

Tamiya delivers crisp parts and a straightforward build. The kit includes:

• Detailed hull with hatches that can be finished open or closed.
• A cast-effect turret with a pivoting main gun.
• Tracks and road wheels modelled with good surface detail.
• Two crew figures with clear facial and uniform sculpts.
• Waterslide decals for historical markings.

Follow the step-by-step guide for clean assembly; the result is a model that responds well to painting and weathering techniques.
