Tamiya 89569 Russian Tank T-34 Type 85 (1/25)

The Tamiya 89569 Russian Tank T-34 Type 85 model in 1/25 scale is a unique replica of one of the most recognizable tanks of World War II. This plastic assembly model was created by the renowned Japanese company Tamiya, famous for the high quality and precision of its modeling products.

The T-34/85 is an improved variant of the legendary T-34 tank, introduced into service by the Red Army at the end of 1943. The main modification—a new turret with an 85mm caliber gun—significantly increased its firepower compared to its predecessor, enabling Soviet crews to effectively fight German armored vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger. This tank was widely used on the eastern fronts in 1944–1945, and after the war, it also served in many armies worldwide during the Cold War.
