Academy 13421 Soviet Medium Tank T-34-85 1/72

The Academy 13421 plastic model kit represents one of the most iconic tanks of World War II—the Soviet T-34-85. Made in 1/72 scale, the model accurately reflects the key technical features of the vehicle used by the Red Army from 1943 onward.

The T-34-85 is a modernized variant of the famous T-34 tank. It was equipped with a new 85 mm gun, which significantly increased its firepower compared to the earlier T-34/76. This modernization responded to the increasingly better-armored German vehicles, especially the legendary Panthers and Tigers. The T-34-85 played a key role in battles such as Kursk, Operation Bagration, and the capture of Berlin in 1945. Mass-produced, it became a symbol of Soviet armored power in the second half of the war and served long after in the armies of the Eastern Bloc as well as other continents.
