Miniart 37069 T-34/85 Czechoslovak Prod. Early Type 1/35 is an extremely detailed plastic model kit, faithfully replicating the Soviet medium tank produced in the early Czechoslovakian series. The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale and is intended for demanding modelers who value both authenticity of reproduction and construction complexity.

Historical background of the vehicle

The T-34/85 is a development of the Soviet T-34 tank, which became an icon of World War II. The version with the 85 mm gun introduced a significant firepower improvement and was widely used on the front from 1944. After the war, the T-34/85 was produced under license in Czechoslovakia as well, where it played a key role in the modernization of the Czechoslovak armored forces in the postwar period. The presented model reflects an early variant of this production, serving in the Czechoslovak army primarily in the years 1945–1950, in the postwar period and at the beginning of the Cold War.
