| Re: Dragon Announcement for August - 1/72 Russian T-34/76 Mod.1942
Yes, it looks like this is the second repaint of their upcoming T-34 obr 1942 (according to Soviet designations) with a ChTZ turret, and both camouflage schemes are really nice. I'll buy at least one of these for sure.
Any expert with good references would dare assign a unit/month to these two tanks? Maybe a Russian member or visitor?
Dragon not always does it right. Their SdKfz 251/7 in grey (60276) is labelled "Barbarossa", when the original picture captions I've seen say it was photographed in the Netherlands; their recent SdKfz 251/2 (60281) is labelled "unidentified unit, Eastern front", when it is in fact a 21st Panzer Division vehicle (the model itself exhibits a 21st division marking!!) in Tunisia - there's a photograph of this or a very similar vehicle (in fact a 251/1 rather than 251/2) in SSP's "in action" booklet on the SdKfz 251, and the legend states it was Von Arnim's personal halftrack. |
