"Quite remarkably, Lt Steup's tank made hits on a T34, once at 20 metres and four times at 50 metres with the PzGr. 40 projectile without any noticeable effect...The T34's came nearer and nearer although they were constantly under fire. The projectiles did not penetrate but sprayed off the side" PzKpfw III crew 1941.
The reason why I started a Soviet Red Army was simple, economics... Quantity has a Quality all of its own-Josef Stalin. My friend Phil who started a Red Army six or seven years ago ran into a problem, while getting Armour for his horde was no worry, however getting infantry in reasonable quality poses and amounts severely restricted his purchases. Six years later it all had changed, now Infantry was available to go with your Armour. About this time I brought a model lot online for around $120.00, its value in a model shop was about $400.00, I lucked out for a change.
I had purchased 26 or so model kits and around 300 figures, the majority of them were Soviet WW2, and the T34 was in attendance in no less than five types of kits in the 1/72 and 1/76 range. I was in Red heaven!
Two of the kits were Fujimi T34/76 Model 1940, or as they call them T34/76 A. These kits are a hassle free build with two options of roadwheels, a figure and a nice choice of decals. Another bonus for me was that the fenders were easy to remove, as to give the vehicles the individual look.
