Tamiya 32515 1/48 T-34/76 Model 1941 - A Small-Scale WWII Classic

The Tamiya 1/48 scale rendition of the Russian T-34/76 tank from 1941 gives Canadian modellers a faithful small-format version of one of World War II's most influential armoured vehicles. Celebrated for its blend of mobility, punch and straightforward manufacture, the T-34/76 made a decisive impact on the Eastern Front. This kit conveys the core characteristics of the T-34/76 so hobbyists can study its historical role and mechanical layout in miniature form.

Background and Mechanical Highlights

Introduced to service in 1940, the T-34/76 became a backbone of Soviet armoured formations during WWII. It used a strong 500hp V-2 diesel engine and Christie-style suspension to balance cross-country performance with production ease. The 76.2mm main gun and sloped armour offered improved survivability and combat effectiveness. The 1941 pattern's cast turret is accurately represented in this scale model.

Kit Details and Assembly Notes

This Tamiya kit features a die-cast lower hull that gives realistic heft and stability to the finished model. Single-piece molded suspension arms improve overall strength and alignment, helping the build stay robust. The pre-coated die-cast hull reduces finishing time and helps achieve an authentic appearance with less prep. It displays well beside other WWII subjects such as the German Tiger I or the US Sherman.
