Dragon will release in September the four main models of the T-34/76 tank in 1/72 scale as part of their Pro series.
The T-34, the mainstay tank of the Red Army during WWII, has been described as the most important weapon that helped Russia win the war in the East. Certainly it was the most widely produced tank of the war, and as can be expected, a number of variants appeared during its lifetime.

The Mod.1940 is the first mass production variant of the T-34 family. The kit consists of all those features of the Mod.1940, including the distinguishable L-11 gun and mantlet.

The most important improvement on Mod.1941 was the longer-barrelled F-34 76.2mm gun. Many components were put under scrutiny for mass production, like the gun mount, the welded turret with a new, single, wide hatch, and many other parts.

The Mod.1942 features a 76mm gun and a distinctive hexagonal turret. It also comes with steel wheels.

The Mod.1943 provided the commander with a cupola for the first time. One problem with early T-34 was the inadequate protection given to commanders in their turrets. With the large hatches, the commanders exposed them to a great deal of peril on the battlefield.
