- Power is even more real with Magic Tracks
- This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the T-34/85, the 85mm cannon version of the T-34 that was the main battle tank of the Soviet Army during World War II.
[About actual car]
-The Soviet army, which was alarmed by the appearance of German Tiger I tanks in World War II, thoroughly investigated and researched the captured Tiger I tanks.
- Concluded that the 76.2mm gun of the main battle tank T-34 was not powerful enough to be countered by the 55 caliber 85mm anti-aircraft gun.
- Based on this, we proceeded with the development of a powerful 85mm tank gun.
- Equipped with an 85mm gun, which is larger than the 76.2mm gun, and development of a large turret that can accommodate a commander, gunner, and loader was also promoted.
- The T-34/85 entered service in 1944 and entered production.
- Initially, the production team for the S-53 type 85mm tank gun, which was originally planned as the main target, was not ready, and in the meantime, although it was developed for the IS heavy tank, it was not adopted due to its lack of power, and the tank gun had nowhere to go. Produced a type equipped with S-5T.
- Along with the originally planned mass production of the S-53 tank gun, the T-34/85 was shifted to the S-53 type mounting type.
- More than 18,000 vehicles were produced by the end of the war in 1945, and the total number of masterpiece tanks exceeded 25,000 due to continued production after the war.
