Any T34 commanders here ?

Post by Steelhammer »

After much deliberation I decided to surprise myself by ordering a Taigen Metal edition T34 yesterday afternoon.......now I'm sweating as I can't wait for it to arrive :haha:

Have any of you done any detail upgrades or performance upgrades to the T34 ?

I'm sure it will be great right out of the box but I whether it be bikes/rifles or whatever, I rarely settle for factory standard and I've seen some amazing improvements made on here so far.

It looks so damn cool. Certainly one of my favorites. I've wanted one for awhile, but would prefer it as an unpainted kit with no electronics.

Check it out early production with no paint. Looks ultra cool.

Good Morning,
Lots of pictures please when it arrives. Taigen is really stepping up the pace. The T-34, the Sherman and last night while searching for a Pershing turret, I saw the new Abrams out with Taigen electronics. I'm waiting for the Jagdtiger with trepidation and anticipation.
regards,
Painless

My pleasure Painless. I will give the battery on the camera a charge this evening and make sure that the lenses are on standby :thumbup:

I've gone for the infra red jobby with the winter camouflage. I will just play for a few days while I ponder a few tweaks I think and try to find 1 or 2 Rusky personnel to man it or at least ride on it. Had a quick look around for some figures but have so far drawn a blank. I enjoy doing photo's though so I'll certainly do quite a few for upload on here :thumbup:

I'm glad I'm not the only one that see's its appeal. I always thought that the T34 was a bit of an oddity but it has grown on me over the years and in my mind it's a great match for the German armour of the period. Those images are great by the way and show it off nicely. Why would you prefer it without electronics ?

Many thanks for the link ALPHA. Some impressive work there and that's given me a few ideas.
