Modelling the T-34/76: No. 33 (Osprey Modelling) - Softcover

"The build articles... are superbly done with lots and lots of photographs. Not only are the various modifications shown, but much of each article is devoted to different types of weathering. The results are stunning to say the least. I could never hope to duplicate what they have done, but it isn't from their lack of instruction in this regard. Each technique is fully described so that those of you with talent will be able to follow along and obtain similar results. Yet another outstanding book in the series and one that I can highly recommend to you." --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com "Recommended. The latest in the consistently interesting Osprey Modelling series is a compilation of four articles by well-known modellers tackling a range of T-34-76 variants, including one recovered from a swamp after nearly 60 years. Coverage isn't limited to Red Army tanks either, with a colourful Italian-owned tank and a beute T-34 with improvised schurtzen." --David Maynard, Armorama (August 2006)

The T-34/76 was the most influential tank design of World War II, with its sloping armour, heavy hitting firepower and rapid mobility. It first saw combat in the summer of 1941, and its qualities soon set it apart from other medium tanks of the period. This book guides the reader through techniques for constructing and finishing four T-34/76 variants in 1/35 scale, presented by four of the world's leading AFV modellers. The projects featured are a T-34/76 from Factory 112, an Early T-34/76 Model 1943 recovered from a swamp, a captured STZ T-34/76 in service with Italian Army, and a German 747(r)-3 conversion on the Western Front.
