Border Model is pushing forwards with a smart release program, this time with a new "Two in one" boxing of a couple of tanks from WWII Soviet Russia - the mighty T34 in two variant - the T-34E First Type Spaced Armour and the T-34-76 #112 factory versions. Although they are both based on the T-34/76 there is a fair difference between them. We volition show you a little about both of them before nosotros look at the kit's features we know of so far.

First a brief history of both types now...

T-34E "Outset Type Spaced Armour"  E for с экранами, "southward ekranami" or "with screens"
By the beginning of 1943, the modernization of the T-34/76 was overdue. Ane of the attempts was the creation of a shielded tank. The Krasnoye Sormovo plant produced 68 T-34 tanks, the hull and tower of which were equipped with bulwarks.

The T-34E was fitted with boosted side armour (no boosted frontal armour on this variant)

It was assumed that they would protect the tanks from German cumulative shells. Even so, information technology was non possible to verify this - in the first boxing, nearly all gainsay vehicles shielded in this way were hit by conventional armour-piercing shells of the enemy's 75 mm anti-tank guns. Subsequently that, the screen venture was abandoned.

Summer of 1943. A variant of screening of Institute No. 112 "Red Sormovo" (Gorky).

The additional armour to the turret was a 16mm armour plate, which was bolted to the side of the turret at an angle of five degrees and at an angle of 35 degrees from the vertical, and at a distance of seventy-150mm from the turret.

T-34-76 #112 factory "Krasnoe Sormovo"

Past the end of WWII, more 57,000 T-34 tanks had been built by the Soviet Union, of which 34,870 were the original version mounting a 76mm gun. Initially, the leading T-34 producer was factory No. 183 in Kharkov. This production facility was then followed past Factory No. 112, also known equally Krasnoye Sormovo, situated in the city of Gorky. Named after Andrei Zhdanov, the factory was originally a Rail locomotive building facility.

The T-34/76 tanks produced at this factory had a number of distinguishing features such as notched glacis-hull side joints and a round admission hatch on the rear plate.  They modified the design of the Model 1941 tank to make it easier to produce, "notching" the front of the hull and glacis plate to fit together and calculation handrails for infantry to clamber and ride with the tanks.

161 were built in the factory in 1941 and by the fourth dimension that "Krasnoye Sormovo" changed over to the production-improved Model 1942 in 1943 – they had congenital more than 3,000 of this type.
