AFV Club 35S57 is an exceptional offering in the range of plastic model kits, reproducing the legendary Soviet medium tank T-34/76 in the 1942/43 version, produced at the famous Factory No. 183. The model, offered in a precise 1:35 scale, allows you to recreate the authentic details of one of the most recognizable armored vehicles of World War II, which became a symbol of Soviet armored warfare and a turning point during the Battle of Kursk and the defense of Stalingrad.

The T-34/76 was employed by the Soviet Union during World War II (1939-1945), serving as the main armament of the Red Army from 1941 until the end of the war. The 1942/43 version featured structural modifications such as an improved cast or welded turret, along with upgraded, more reliable suspension and drive systems, increasing its effectiveness on the battlefield. T-34/76 tanks were mass-produced at Factory No. 183 in Nizhny Tagil, and their design was respected by adversaries for the combination of mobility, armor, and firepower they offered.
