Re: Corgi "Kursk" Diorama!

Actually from the photo, the turret is a T-34/76 model1943, and modified version of the older T-34, it's a hexagonal one, not a T-34/85. So Corgi actually got it right.
this website has all the info you need on WWII Russian tanks, www.battlefield.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=81&Itemid=50

I have plenty of books on T-34. If Corgi meant to produced a variant of "blunt edges" T-34 turret, it did a piss poor job of it. Funny thing, as far as I remember T-34 "Revolutionary Mongolia" by Corgi had a correct "blunt edges" turret.

Here are some pics from the Russian edition of Squadron book T-34 in action:





Can someone post a clear pic of burnt out turret from this diorama so we'll be able to put this matter to rest?

Regards,

Sergey
