T-34E Spaced Armour. Was this an actual version?

Post by BarryC »

Was this actual version of the T-34/76 and not just a one off prototype?

Barry this is really interesting heres a couple I've found while researching my captured t-34/76

I had no idea they existed aside from the converted German version.

Much like the KV-1 E with added armour platesImageImage

Thanks for looking into this Barry. I'm a huge t-34/76 fan, especially the oddball that comes up

Apparently the side plates were able to be removed and slide in and out...

Quite a menacing piece with all the rivets and shielding

Thanks guys!

Carl,

I also like the T-34/76 over the /85. :clap: I want to build one using the Trumpeter kit on the Taigen lower. I also want to build something not "mainstream" but not as extensively modified as the Abrams. ;)
This 1/35 kit from Border Models might be just the reference needed. :thumbup:

Good news is it looks to made using flat plate which will be pretty easy to duplicate!

I've been wanting to do the same thing - build it in 1/16. I saw this kit previewed and have been waiting to get it to use it as a reference. I also play World of Tanks and this vehicle is in the game. The fabrication shouldn't be that hard as most of the work is flat plate.

Seeing that I have a T34/76 1942, T34/76 1943, SU-100, T34/85, and an SU-122 conversion kit all on Taigen hulls waiting to be finished I'm a bit partial to the T-34 variants. :) Have you found a US source for the T34E kit? I had looked at Andy's Hobby Headquarters and they are all sold out. Ebay only has Chinese sellers at this point.
