That's it. I'm talking about the T-34 model 1943 with hex turret. I have some pics of the coaxial gun mount, but it is the mount WITHOUT the gun (actually, I've found two types of mounts)... Is there pics showing the mounted gun? I've re-started my T-34 interior scratchbuilding and I only need this part (for now). Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.

José.

*EDIT*: I forgot... What kind of machine gun is the coaxial gun in the T-34? The only thing I know is that it is 7.62 mm cal.

*EDIT 2*: Here's a pic I've just taken:



The entire gun mount has to be scratchbuild... The base kit? A Tamiya T-34, not the best kit, but cheaper than a Dragon T-34,and it has the Uralmash turret (I really like this turret), there are no other simmilar kit in 1/35.

There are a couple of reference pics of the DT (derived from the standard infantry DP) on this page advertising AM barrels for the DT

The barrels themselves are reviewed here, with a big clue about where to obtain the working parts

And finally another view of the mount, on a recovered T-34

Yes, thanks a lot, I found this other:



As you can see, the mount is different, but I want to see the gun IN the mount. Is it remotely operated or manually operated? Best regards.

José.

Mounting the gun is easy, the disc just in front of the magazine (extreme edge of photo in link below) fits into the circular aperture in the mount and is clamped down.

The gun was able to be fired remotely via a pedal on the commander's foot-rest, centre of the picture below.



Oh an apology, the gun from the -85 shown in the link to PMMS is a later DTM (pistol grip gives it away) and is not that likely to be used on a -76.

Thanks a lot for your reply.. I didn't knew what those pedals were for, but now I know. Best regards.
