T-34-76 Mod.1941
Dragon Kit No. 6205
1:35th Scale
Review by Terry Ashley
The kit has the same sprues plus for the inclusion of two new sprues, H and K which contain the parts for the F-34 gun and mantlet plus a couple of storage boxes while the rear engine deck intake panel has been included with the mesh section cutout and an etched fret included with the intake screen and reinforcing strips plus etched ice cleat track securing straps. Also included are two short lengths of soft metal tow cables to add some nice detail definition while all other comments are the same as for kit 6092.
The Decals:
The sheet has markings for two identified vehicles, one from 1st Guards Tank
Brigade, near Moscow, March 1942 and one from 21st Tank Corps, 130th Tank
Brigade, Southern Front, April 1942 as well as turret markings for another
eleven unidentified vehicles.
Conclusion:
Another excellent kit from Dragon and it's nice to see the reworking of some
parts and the inclusion of etched screens and the metal tow cable to add
that bit extra to the standard kit.
