Here they are, these two new T-34s by Dragon. Both models are identical (except for the paint scheme) and make up very good representations of the real thing.
The model has now the so-called pressed-steel or stamped turret that was manufactured by UZTM (and used on hulls by a number of factories, including Zavod 183, Zavod 112, and ChTZ), which is a nice and interesting variation from the other style of hexagonal turret already produced by Dragon, namely the "hard-edge" turret. The new "stamped" turret is an awsome rendition of the original thing, and the hull is also beautifully done, the only suspect thing being the lack of hand rails on the starboard side.
Both models pertain to unidentified units, one in the Leningrad front (green and sand; could be related to the battle around Krasnyi Bor?), the other most probably involved in the combats around Kharkov. My literature review has provided no better identification for any of these models, but maybe some other member knows better... What do you think, Berkut?
All in all, these two models are excellent additions to the range... and also to my collection!
