Product Description

One of Dragon's finest Soviet armor kits, the T-34/76 Mod.1942 "Formochka" Smart Kit accurately depicts the distinctive mid-production T-34 equipped with the cast "Formochka" turret. Combining excellent molding quality, outstanding surface detail, and Dragon's well-known Smart Kit engineering, this release remains a favorite among armor modelers.

The T-34 was the backbone of the Soviet armored forces during World War II, and the 1942 production vehicles played a crucial role in halting the German advance before eventually carrying the Red Army westward to Berlin. The "Formochka" cast turret gives this version a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from earlier welded-turret variants.

Dragon includes highly detailed suspension components, finely reproduced weld beads and cast textures, slide-molded parts, optional road wheels, and a well-detailed 76.2mm main gun. Individual-link Magic Track-style tracks (depending on production run) provide excellent realism while maintaining the straightforward assembly that made Dragon's Smart Kit series popular.

Whether built straight from the box or enhanced with aftermarket photo-etch and metal barrels, this kit produces an outstanding representation of one of history's most famous tanks.
