Tamiya 32515 1/48 T-34/76 Model 1941 - Miniature WWII Workhorse

The Tamiya 1/48 T-34/76 from 1941 reproduces a pivotal Soviet tank in a space-saving scale. Known for its balance of mobility, protection and ease of production, the T-34/76 had a major wartime impact. This kit renders the essential features of the vehicle, letting modellers study its design and field role in a tidy format.

Origin and Design Features

First appearing in 1940, the T-34/76 quickly entered mass production and served across the Eastern Front. It was powered by a durable 500hp V-2 diesel and used Christie-type suspension to improve mobility over rough ground. The 76.2mm gun combined with sloped armour made it a tough opponent. The 1941 cast turret profile is replicated accurately in this model.

Assembly Highlights and Finish Tips

The kit includes a die-cast lower hull which adds realistic weight and helps stability on display. The one-piece suspension arms increase build rigidity and alignment, easing assembly. With a pre-coated die-cast hull, finishing requires less preparatory work, helping achieve an authentic final look. It complements other WWII subjects like the Tiger I and Sherman when displayed together.
