Just curiosity. All T-34/85 kits out there depict machines made in Factory 183 (UTZ), there are a model 1943 and model 1943 from Maquette, but that's irrelevant... Modifying the Factory 183 hull to Factory 112 or 172 should be easy, but not the turret, I think it needs replacement... Is there any resin turret available? It must be from Factory 112 or 174, model 1944 or 1945 (that's why I said Maquette kits are irrelevant). Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards.

Jose,
take a look on the anubis turrets!
I buyed four and i'am very happy with them.
I recommend you to order directly from Brian (he did the master for all anubis turrets, so far as i know). The service is absolutly fantastic, you got always very fast an answer on every question and if there is a problem it would be solved to your full satisfaction ([email protected])!
On armorama is also a review of some items available.
I hope this helps
Igor

Beware, there are lots and lots of T-34 turrets out there, and very few are any good. Most are made for the Tamiya model at a time when no one knew anything, and the products show that.
The Anubis turrets are good — Brian O'Neal did his homework. The CMD turrets are good — Bill Miley did his homework. Anything else is suspect, as far as I am concerned. Stick with what you know.
Cheers
