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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 138mm
  • Material: Die-cast lower hull, plastic parts
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Recommended for full realism
The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic modelling experience. Parts fit cleanly and the die-cast hull helps alignment, but you should be comfortable with gluing and basic painting techniques.
Use acrylic or enamel scale paints matched to WWII Soviet tones, fine brushes for detail work and an airbrush for large panels. Sandy primer on plastic areas helps paint adhesion to the pre-coated hull.
Yes, common upgrades include photo-etch detail sets, metal gun barrels and weathering kits. Check compatibility for 1/48 scale parts before purchasing extras.
