Italeri T34/85 Zavod 112

The T-34 tank is undoubtedly one of the most iconic armoured vehicles of World War II and served as the backbone of the Soviet Armed Forces during the conflict. The main innovations introduced by the T-34 included the sloped frontal armour, which provided greater protection against incoming fire, and the adoption of wide tracks, ideal for achieving good mobility across all types of terrain. The first T-34s, equipped with a short-barrelled 76 mm gun, quickly gained an operational advantage over the most common German tanks of the time, such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV. In 1943, the T-34 was further improved with the introduction of a completely new turret featuring thicker armour and capable of housing the long-barrelled 85 mm gun. With the deployment of the first T-34/85s to armoured units, the Soviet armies were able to match even the most modern and effective German tanks, such as the Tiger and the Panther.
