T34 Reference Guide

Introduced in 1940, the T34 was one of the best combinations of protection, mobility, firepower and reliabilty. It is also one of the longest serving designs, with some still in active service. It was this tank that forced Germany to create the tiger series.

This site hopes to give model builders all the resources they will need to build a scaled version of the T34. It is built on donated effort, for free use for all, in the spirt of goodwill.

I don't mind receiving emails about the T34, however, in the spirit of the excess spam emails I am receiving, you will need to remove the two 'remove_this' bits from my email address to make it valid. Should you wish to contribute, I am only a click away...

Good luck with your project!
