HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet OT-130 Flame Thrower Tank
£30.00 GBP
The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production. One of them was the OT-130 (KhT-130), a flamethrower tank with a 45mm gun turret. Around 12% of all T-26 light tanks were flame-throwing tanks.
The abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank, Flame-throwing Tank) was adopted only in the post-war period. Initially these tanks were called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank, Chemical Tank) and were intended for chemical contamination, creating smoke screens and flame throwing.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet KrAZ-255B
£53.00 GBP
The Soviet truck KrAZ-255B entered production in 1965, and full series production started in 1967. KrAZ stood for Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod (Kremenchuk Automobile Plant), a Ukrainian factory which produced these trucks. The KrAZ-255B had a revised braking system and was intended to replace the earlier KrAZ-214 truck. It had some visual similarities with the earlier KrAZ-214 but had a more powerful engine. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster instead of the pneumatic booster of the KrAZ-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the KrAZ-214 were substituted by the new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tire inflation system controlled by the driver directly from the cab. In 1976 the KrAZ-255B was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system to replace the single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised KrAZ-255B (B1) designation. Overall from 1967 till 1994 around 82,000 KrAZ-255B's were produced.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet BA-20M Armoured Car
£29.00 GBP
The BA-20 Soviet armoured car was developed in 1934. Its full production started in 1935 and ran until the first months of 1942. In the early stages of WWII the car was used mainly as a scout vehicle.
The crew consisted of two people - a driver and a commander (gunner). The vehicle's tyres were resistant to bullets and it was the first armoured car produced by the Soviet Union that had an escape hatch in the floor between the chassis legs. The BA-20M was an improved version of the BA-20: command vehicles of this type had a whip antenna as opposed to the clothes-rail antenna on the command versions of the BA-20.
The BA-20M armoured car was deployed during the Battles of Khalkhyn Gol in 1939, the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939-1940, and the annexation of the Baltic Republics - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1940. The BA-20 then saw combat during the early phases of the Great Patriotic War. Some vehicles were captured by the German army and were designated Panzerspahwagen BA-202 (r).

HobbyBoss 1:35 M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen (ADGZ-Daimler)
£34.00 GBP
The Steyr ADGZ, also known as the M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen, was a heavy armoured vehicle designed for the needs of the Austrian Army in 1934. The production was started in 1935 and lasted two years. KwK 35 L/45 was used as the main armament.
Both the Austrian Army and Police used a number of M35 vehicles during the Anschluss (the German annexation of Austria in 1938). When the Germans came to power, the cars were widely deployed by the Police as well as in combat in the Balkans and on the Eastern theatre of WWII.
By order of the SS a few additional M35 units were produced in 1942. They were designed without a rear which made it possible to drive the vehicles at both ends. In wartime the M35 saw action during the Invasion of Poland and Operation Barbarossa.

HobbyBoss 1:35 IDF Achzarit APC Early
£33.00 GBP
The Achzarit is a heavy armoured personnel carrier produced by the Israeli Defence Forces in 1988. Its name means "Cruel" in Hebrew and in civilian life is used to refer to a woman.
The Achzarit was built on the basis of the Soviet T-54/T-55 tank, several units of which were captured by Israeli Forces from Arabs during the Arab-Israeli wars. The turret was removed from the tank and its chassis was redesigned to make it suitable for carrying soldiers. The vehicle was equipped with a smaller, but more powerful engine and has reactive armour.
The armament of the APC consists of three 7.62mm machine guns, including one controlled by a Rafael Overhead Weapon Station. Later versions feature a bulletproof glass turret to protect the commander from small arms fire when he looks outside the vehicle. The Achzarit was deployed during Operation Rainbow in Rafah in 2004 and the Gaza War in 2008.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German VK4502 (P) Vorne
£30.00 GBP
The Volkettenfahrzeuge 4502 (Porsche) Ausf. B, or VK4502 (P) Ausf. B, was an experimental German heavy tank designed by Porsche in 1942. It was based on the previous VK4501(P) design. Initially it was proposed that the chassis design for the VK4502 (P) could be adopted from the VK4501 (P) with minimum modifications. The tank was supposed to have a maximum speed of 35 km/h and weigh around 45 tonnes. The turret for the VK4502 was also designed by Porsche.
In 1942, a production contract for 100 VK4502 armour shells and 100 turrets was given to Fried Kruppe AG Essen. Kruppe planned to begin the production after completing 100 VK4501 hulls. Later Krupp was asked to complete only 30 Type 180 hulls. However, the project took a serious setback when the Porsche's 101/3 engine failed during the testing.
The contracts for the VK4502 hulls and turrets were terminated. By January 1943, Krupp had already manufactured 20 armour turret bodies for the VK4502 and around 40 to 50 were under construction at the time of cancellation. Krupp then got the permission to assemble three operational turrets for the VK4502. Porsche confirmed that three Tiger P2 VK4502 with electric drives were being completed at the Nibelungwerk. New vehicles were supposed to feature new hydraulic drives, a new suspension system and an air-cooled diesel engine. However, nothing more was heard about the fate of the VK4502 until April 1944 when Krupp reported that one of the turrets was completed and the other two were close to completion. In August 1944 the remaining turrets were converted for use on the Henschel chassis.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. D / TAUCH
Sold Out
For the Operation Sea Lion, the planned invasion of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain, the Commander of the Army originally requested 180 underwater tanks. 42 Panzer IV Ausf.D's, as well as some Pz.III's and StuG III's, were converted into the Tauchpanzer ("diving tank"). All the openings were covered with rubber sheeting, and the turret ring was protected by inflatable rubber ring. The exhausts were fitted with non-return valves. The driver’s visor was made watertight by special metal cover with a visor block. Air was supplied via a flexible 18-meter hose held on the surface by a buoy. Tauchpanzers could submerge to a depth of about 15 meters, and had the maximum underwater speed of 3 mph. After the Operation was given up, almost all the vehicles were assigned to the 18th Panzer Division and some were used during the River Bug crossing in Operation Barbarossa.

HobbyBoss 1:35 German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. B
£30.00 GBP
The German Panzerkampfwagen IV (or Panzer IV) was a medium tank developed in 1930s. It was the only German tank continuously produced throughout the war, and the most widely exported German tank. Over 8,800 Panzer IV's were produced between 1936 and 1945.
The production of Panzer IV Ausf. B started in 1937. The original engine was substituted with the more powerful Maybach HL 120TR (220.65 kW). The tank also had the new SSG 75 transmission, with six forward gears and one reverse gear. The Ausf. B's speed increased to 39 km/h.
Only forty-two Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. B's were completed, and in 1938 production moved to the Ausf. C.

£23.00 GBP
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) was initially designed by ČKD (Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk) - Czech engineering company - in 1938. From May to November 1939, 150 tanks were produced for the Wehrmacht. They were designated Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. A. These tanks had excellent technical characteristics - speed, armour protection and high reliability, and were considered to be the best light tanks in the beginning of WWII. They were also used by Hungarian, Romanian, Slovakian, and Bulgarian armies, and were exported to Sweden, Switzerland, Peru, and other countries.
The Pz.Kpfw 38 (t) Ausf. G was the result of a growing demand for heavier armour. This tank had a basic 50mm armour plate on all frontal surfaces. It was mainly used in Russia, with some models exported to Germany's allies.

£33.00 GBP
Land-Wasser-Schlepper, an unarmed amphibious tractor of German production, was deployed by the Third Reich troops during the Second World War. It was intended for both land and naval operations. The vehicle had twin propellers and twin rudders similar to the ones of a ferry boat, and travelled on steel chain tracks.
The first tractors were used during the German invasion of the United Kingdom, known under the code name Operation Sea Lion, in order to tow barges and carry vehicles ashore.
LWS's proved to be good in action, but the factories at that time suffered from the lack of raw materials, so the tractor production was limited.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Vickers Medium Tank MKII**
£38.00 GBP
The British Vickers Medium Mark II tank was designed on the basis of the Medium Mark I and used the same chassis, suspension and transmission. It was produced from 1925 until 1934. Compared to the Mark I, the tank had a new superstructure, improved suspension, and a higher weight which resulted in a slightly slower speed. Its main armament was a 47 mm 3 pdr gun. In addition the tank was equipped with four 7.7mm Hotchkiss M1909 machine guns in the turret and two Vickers machine guns in the sides of the hull.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Vickers Medium Tank Mk.II
£38.00 GBP
A British medium tank, the Vickers Mark II was developed in the Inter-war period to replace remaining Medium Mark C's units, already outmoded by that time. Based on the Vickers Mark I, it surpassed its predecessor in several aspects: it featured an improved suspension, a better placed superstructure and Rackham clutches involving servo-based control. The modifications, however, increased the weight of the vehicle reducing its speed from 24 km/h to 21 km/h.
The Mark II was armed with a 47 mm 3-pounder gun, four machine guns in the turret and two Vickers machine guns, one on either side of the hull. A sloped rear of the turret made it possible to use the machine guns against aircraft.
Both the Mark I and Mark II served in the Royal Tank Regiment until their production was stopped in 1938. Some Mark II's equipped the Mobile Division commanded by Sir Percy Hobart in Egypt, but by the time the Italian invasion began, they were no longer in use. During the threat of German invasion in 1940, some of these tanks were reactivated for a short time.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - US GMC CCKW-352 Truck (Machine Gun Turret Version)
£43.00 GBP
The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2,5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after the D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-37B Amphibious Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
In the early 1930's engineers were concerned about the downfalls of the tanks produced at that time: the tracks became damaged extremely fast during long off-road driving and destroyed roadbeds. Fully-tracked tanks also moved rather slowly which made their transportation unbearable.
The solution seemed to be wheeled caterpillar tanks that were supposed to use wheels when driving along public roads, and tracks in off-road environments. In the Soviet Union the idea was realised in 1935 when the T-37B prototype was built and tested. However, it showed poor performance and revealed a number of irreparable defects. Consequently, the T-37B was never used in combat.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen (ADGZ-Steyr)
£36.00 GBP
The Steyr ADGZ was developed for the Austrian Army by Austro-Daimler (which later merged with Steyr Automobile) from 1934 and delivered to the army in 1935-1937. In "ADGZ", "AD" stands for "Austro-Daimler". Its Austrian designation was M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. During the Anschluss - the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany - the Austrian army had 12 ADGZ armoured cars in use, and 15 more were used by the police. The Germans started using the ADGZ for police work and some vehicles were used by the SS on the Eastern Front and the Balkans. In 1942, the SS received 25 additional ADGZ cars.
The ADGZ was suitable for both urban usage and for maneuvering off-road. It had 6mm armour and weighed 12 tons. Either end of the vehicle was capable of driving the unit: drivers could operate the vehicle from the front or the rear switching almost immediately due to the dual transmission.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Leichter Panzerspahwagen (2cm) Mid Version
£23.00 GBP
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - German Pz.Kpfw.1 Ausf. A ohne Aufbau
£23.00 GBP
The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of WWI, forbade Germany to have or produce tanks and armoured fighting vehicles of any kind. However, the German Government managed to evade the Treaty provisions by authorising the production of 15 tank hulls without superstructures or turrets. Disguised as 'training vehicles' those tanks were aimed at military reinforcement of Germany.
The Ausf. A ohne Aufbau was one of the training vehicles designed at that time. Featuring an entirely open interior without a superstructure and turret, it had room for five crew members: a student driver, an instructor and three more observers behind them.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Marder III Ausf.M Tank Destroyer Sd.Kfz.138 Late
£45.00 GBP
The Marder III ("Marder" means "marten" in English, named after the weasel like animal) was a family of German tank destroyers deployed from 1942 to 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. It was based on the Panzer 38(t) featuring its chassis and a roofless fighting compartment. The main armament consisted of either Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936, or German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the Pak 40. Unlike the earlier models, it featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear ensuring better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. That gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their visibility and exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Ausf.M included the commander, gunner, loader and driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - 5cm Pak (t) Sfl. auf Fgst. Pz. Kpfw. 35R 731 (f) - Plastic model kit #83808
The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced from 1936 until 1940. The R35 became one of the most numerous French tanks captured by the Germans. Germany captured a total of 843 R35's, over a hundred of which were designated Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f) and used by panzer units mainly for security duties or driver training. Most of the captured tanks were later converted into artillery tractors and ammunition carriers after the turret was removed.
Germans decided that R35's would be more useful on the battlefield if they were converted into self-propelled guns. Using the R35 chassis they built a 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f). This proved to be rather difficult because the chassis was even smaller than that of Panzer I Ausf.B, and the tank designed for two Frenchmen was now supposed to carry three German soldiers and a fairly large gun with ammunition. This new vehicle was not very successful in service especially in winter conditions, so a decision was made to improve it by changing the gun for a 5cm PaK 38. However this plan never came into action because of technical limitations, and the project was cancelled.

Eduard Profipack 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II - Plastic model kit #3715
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, commonly known as Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WWII. It was first used on 11 July 1944 by the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied Invasion of Normandy.
The Tiger II was produced in relatively small numbers - Allied bombing severely disrupted the production and caused the loss of over 600 tanks when the floor area of the Henschel plant was destroyed. Just under 500 Tiger II's were produced from 1943 til 1945.
The successor of the Tiger I, the Tiger II weighed almost 70 tonnes and was armed with an 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The tank's thick frontal armour and powerful long-range gun gave it a significant advantage against Western Allied and Soviet tanks.

The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. The last official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops.
The Tiger II was the successor of the Tiger I, adding the Tiger I's thick armour with the sloped armour used on the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm (3.9 to 7.1 inches) of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun.
The Tiger II was developed late in the war and built in relatively small numbers, with only 1500 Tiger II's actually ordered — this was marginally higher than the 1,347 of the earlier Tiger I tanks actually produced — but the Tiger II production was severely disrupted by Allied bombing.
The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger tank destroyer.

Academy 1:35 U.S. Tank Destroyer M10 GMC
£37.00 GBP
Academy 1:35 - U.S. Tank Destroyer M10 GMC '70th Anniversary of Normandy Invasion, 1944-2014' - Plastic model kit #13288
The M10 was a U.S. tank destroyer of World War II based on the chassis of the M4 Sherman tank fitted with the 3-inch (76.2mm) Gun M7. Previously known as the 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage, M10, it was the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II in terms of numbers produced and combined a nearly all-sloped armour adaptation of the Sherman hull and drivetrain, with a potent anti-tank weapon within an open-topped, 360º rotation turret mount for its main armament. This was different to the M3 GMC, whose main armament was capable of only a limited traverse, given that it was essentially an adaptation of a self-propelled artillery platform.
The M10 remained in service until the end of the war and its chassis was later re-employed with a new turret to create the M36 Jackson tank, which used a 90mm gun instead of the 76.2mm.
The M10 was dubbed the Wolverine by British troops, although unlike other vehicle names such as the M4 Sherman, the name was not adopted by American soldiers, who called it TD (a nickname for any tank destroyer in general) beyond its formal designation.

Academy 1:35 - Tiger I Gruppe Fehrmann April 1945 - Plastic model kit #13299
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of the Second World War, was deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe commonly in independent heavy tank battalions. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that used the KwK 36 88-mm gun. In total 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
The Gruppe Fehrmann was formed at the beginning of 1945 with the intention of going into the Ruhr area. It included six Tiger I and five Panther tanks. The Tiger tanks were commanded by Oberleutnant Ferhmann and were designated with 'F' to denote their 'Gruppe' commander.

Academy 1:35 - German Pz. Kpfw. VI Tiger I (Mid production version) '70th Anniversary of Normandy Invasion, 1944-2014' - Plastic model kit #13287
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, was deployed from 1942 in Africa and Europe commonly in independent heavy tank battalions with the designation Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E often shortened to Tiger. The Tiger I gave the Wehrmacht its first armoured fighting vehicle that used the KwK 36 88-mm gun. In total 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. Production was over time phased out in favour of the Tiger II.
The Tiger I has been called an excellent design for its time, however it was over-engineered, using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. The Tiger was prone to some types of track failures and breakdowns, and had limited range given its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to run, but normally mechanically reliable. It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilisation when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved Schachtellaufwerk-pattern road wheels, often causing them to jam. This was a problem on the Eastern Front in the muddy rasputitsa (semi-annual mud seasons) and winter weather conditions.
The tank was named "Tiger" by Ferdinand Porsche, and the Roman numeral was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The early designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H (‘‘Panzer VI version H’’, abbreviated PzKpfw VI Ausf. H) where 'H' denoted Henschel as the designer/manufacturer. It was given ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 182. The tank was later redesignated as PzKpfw VI Ausf. E in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation SdKfz 181.
Tigers had a crew of 5. They could travel up to 23mph on roads and were powered by the Maybach 21, 353cc V-12 engines that delivered 642hp.

Academy 1:35 - US M3A1 Stuart Light Tank (Replaces ACA01398) - Plastic Model Kit #13269
The M3 Stuart was an American light tank delivered to British forces by the US Government during WWII, before the Americans officially entered the war. Subsequently it was deployed by the Allies until the capitulation of Germany.
"Stuart" was a nickname given in reference to James Stuart, an American Confederate States Army general of the Civil War. Compared to the previous Light Tank M2, the Stuart had an improved suspension, better gun recoil mechanism and thicker armour, unusual for a light tank. The vehicle was armed with a 37mm M5 gun (which was later replaced with a longer M6 version) and several Browning machine guns. The tank production lasted from 1941 to 1943.
The M3A1 was an American variant of the Stuart, also referred to as the Stuart III. Its production started in 1942 and within the following year over 4,000 units were built. The M3A1 featured a redesigned turret with a turret basket and no cupola. Machine guns were excluded from the design, however a gun stabilizer was installed for better aiming.

Academy 1:35 - T-34/85 No. 112 Factory Production
£33.00 GBP
Academy 1:35 - T-34/85 Factory Production Version - Plastic Model Kit #13290
Perfect as a Berlin Assault tank or a Korean War unit. The T-34/85 entered production in 1944 as an improvement over the T-34/76. It featured heavier armour to withstand the increased firepower of the latest German tanks, a larger turret to house the new 85mm S-53 main gun, and internal stowage for 56 rounds of ammunition. The T34/85 was also equipped with 2x 7.62mm machine guns. Powered by a 12 cylinder diesel engine, the T-34/85 could move at speeds of up to 55 kph.
The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank that is generally considered as having had significant impact on tank design and development. The T-34 is often credited as the most effective, efficient and influential tank design of the Second World War. At the time of it's initial deployment he T-34 had an impressive combination of armament, speed, armour and toughness. The T-34 was armed primarily with a 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity gun which provided a substantial increase in firepower over any of its contemporaries; its heavy sloped armour was difficult to penetrate by most anti-tank weapons of the period. When first encountered in 1941, the German tank general von Kleist called it "the finest tank in the world" and Heinz Guderian confirmed the T-34's "vast superiority" over existing German armour of the time.
The T-34 was the primary vehicle of the Soviet armoured forces throughout World War II. The design allowed it to be constantly refined to meet the changing needs of the Eastern Front conflict: as the war progressed it became more capable, but also quicker and cheaper to produce. The Soviet Union would eventually produce more than 80,000 T-34s (all variants), allowing more and more to be deployed as the war continued despite losing great numbers to the Wehrmacht. The development of the T-34 led directly to the T-54 and T-55 series of tanks, which in turn evolved into the T-62, T-72, and T-90 that form the armoured mainstay of many modern armies. T-34 variants were widely exported after World War II and up to 1996 were still in service in at least 27 countries.

Academy 1:35 - T-34/76 No. 183 Factory Production - Plastic Model Kit #13505
The Soviet medium tank T-34 was the most produced tank of WWII that replaced many light and medium tanks in service with the Red Army. The initial version of the T-34 was equipped with a powerful 76.2 mm gun, and is often called the T-34/76.
Most of these tanks were produced at Factory No.183 which in September 1941 was evacuated from its original location in Kharkiv to Nizhniy Tagil when it became clear that Kharkiv was in danger of falling to the Germans. Factory No.183 in Nizhniy Tagil (Uralskiy Tankovyj Zavod, Ural Tank Factory) produced just over 15 thousand of the T-34/76 tanks. By the end of WWII, T-34's comprised at least 55% of the Soviet tank production. In the beginning of the war this figure was 4%.
When Germany launched the invasion of the Soviet Union, the T-34 was superior to any German tank and destroying T-34's in combat proved to be very difficult. However, the Red Army had still lost large numbers of these new tanks in 1941 due to the tactical and operational skills of the Germans as well as mechanical breakdowns which accounted for at least 50% of Soviet tank losses at the time. In the following years the T-34 saw a number of improvements while Germany continued to develop anti-tank guns capable of penetrating the T-34's armour. By 1943, the 76.2 mm gun was unable to penetrate the armour of the new German tanks and the Soviet Union began the production of the improved version of the T-34, the T-34/85.
