Dragon T-34/76

This is the Dragon Models 1/72 T-34/76 Mod. 1941. The T-34/76 was used by the Soviets in Leningrad in 1942-1943 against the invading Germans. The Germans did not made it in Leningrad, and the T-34s they encountered led them to design what would be the Panther, to counter the T-34s.




Note the smaller turret compared to the T-34/85, arguably the most well designed tanks of the war taking into account of costs, production and usability. The 76 indicates the 76mm gun used on the tank while the  T-34/85, uses the more powerful 85mm guns to match the firepower of the Germans. The picture below shows the T-34/76 tank with what could be Polish badge.
