Trumpeter 07207 Soviet T-34/85 MOD.1944 (1/72)

The Trumpeter 07207 plastic model kit represents the T-34/85 MOD.1944 tank in 1:72 scale. This faithfully miniaturized model depicts one of the most legendary Soviet armored vehicles of World War II. The T-34/85 was an improved version of the earlier T-34, equipped with a more powerful 85 mm gun that enabled it to effectively compete with the new German tanks. The model recreates the version produced from 1944, fitted with the distinctive turret designed for the D-5T gun.

The T-34/85 tank was widely used on the Eastern Front during the last years of World War II (1944-1945). It was mainly operated by the Red Army of the USSR, but after the war, it was also adopted by many Eastern Bloc armies and developing countries—even in Cold War-era conflicts. The tank saw its combat debut in operations such as Operation Bagration and the offensive on Berlin. The design of the T-34/85 was valued for its simplicity, reliability, and relatively high resistance to battlefield damage.

The Trumpeter 07207 model is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precise detail reproduction of the original. Inside the box you will find well-designed sprues with parts for the hull, turret, individual track links, and additional elements, allowing for a realistic rendering of the vehicle. The manufacturer did not include extras such as a metal gun barrel or photo-etched parts, but the detail fidelity of the hull, as well as the accurate recreation of the armament and running gear, are commendable. The assembly instructions are clear and include painting guidance based on historical schemes.
