E.T. Model E35-020 WWII Soviet T-34/85 Basic (For AFV CLUB 35S56) (1/35)

E.T. Model E35-020 WWII Soviet T-34/85 Basic is an extremely precise set of photo-etched parts dedicated to the T-34/85 tank model in 1:35 scale, intended for use with the AFV Club model (catalogue number 35S56). This set is aimed at modelers looking for realistic details that will significantly enhance the historical accuracy of the vehicle on a display or diorama.

The T-34/85 tank, one of the most famous Soviet armored vehicles of World War II, formed the backbone of Soviet armored forces from late 1943/44 and was widely used by the Red Army on the Eastern Front, notably in the battles for Berlin and during Operation Bagration. After World War II, the T-34/85 also served in the armies of allied communist countries during the Cold War.

• Scale: 1/35 – ensures reproduction of even the finest details.
• User country: USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics); also used by allied nations in the postwar period.
• Historical Period: World War II and postwar times, Cold War.
• Material: high-quality photo-etched brass sheet – provides excellent precision and durability of the assembled details.
• Dedication: for the AFV Club 35S56 (T-34/85) tank model, although many parts can also be used with other models of this tank version in 1:35 scale.
• Category: Upgrade set for plastic model kits (photo-etched accessories).
• Contents: components to enhance the exterior surfaces of the vehicle, such as handle details, meshes, tool mounts, guards, and other small parts that are difficult to reproduce in plastic.

E.T. Model E35-020 is marked by a very high standard of workmanship and precise detail cutting. It allows for a much more realistic representation of the T-34/85 tank than standard kit parts. I highly recommend this product for intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to elevate their work and for those participating in modeling contests. I rate the assembly difficulty at 4 out of 5 – it requires skill with photo-etched parts and experience working with and gluing small metal components.

By choosing the E.T. Model E35-020 upgrade set, you gain the opportunity to create a truly realistic model of the legendary Soviet tank, an icon of 20th-century armored warfare – suitable both for exhibition and historical dioramas.
