Coming soon from Verlinden Productions is a vignette that uses a tank turret as the center piece and has everything needed to complete the scene.
Verlinden Productions has announced a T-34 Turret Bunker vignette as in the works. The small diorama is stated to include the figures and accessories, thus a small diorama in a box, just add paint.

Don't know about this...................No T-34/85 turret bunkers that I know off were used during W.W.II, the turrets were too valuable to use in this matter. The only T-34/85 turret bunkers I have seen were post war in Yugoslavia, Balkans, Russia/China border, etc.

I'm no expert but I'm with Jose in wondering about any WW2 applications. The first thing that comes to my mind is that extensive line the soviets built to protect their border in Bulgaria. That line included a lot of Panzer IVs, Stugs, Jagpanzers, and T-34s. Basically anything dated that could still be used as an outland hardpoint.

yeah, I'd like to see the photo reference material on this..I'm no big fan of Verlinden anyway..

I'm not sure why the assumption is that it's Soviet. The kit says "German T34 Turret Bunker" and appears to have Soviet troops overrunning it. I suppose the Germans could have with captured equipment whatever they wished.

A T34 76mm turret would be more appropriate. The German field works manual shows construction of such bunkers of concrete as well as logs, in the earlier parts of the war. By the time of the T34-85 (late 1943) the Germans were too much on the retreat to stop and build many extensive fortifications. Might work well with short-barrel Pz lV, too, if the turret rings are compatible.
