I do not have a T34 76MM in my stash. Any recommendations as to which one to fill the void with? I saw dragons Factory 112 but I don't know where it fits in quality to other kits.
Thanks.

I have read that AFV Club's is the best overall - with the full interior but comes with a rubber track. https://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/5954
Up until 10 yrs ago, DML T-34/76 Mod 1941 were thought to be the best from what I have read:

Perth military modelling has a list of reviews for Dragon kits: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/subject/t34.htm
And some more: https://www.scalemates.com/products/reviews.php?scale=1%3A35&topic=T-34
Of course I am no T-34 kit expert but I have two DML T-34/76 Mod 1941 kits (6205) and they fit great. The later models like Factory 112 seem good, too.

Uh, it's a T34. Rough and ready. Any damn kit you can slap together will do!
OK I'm kinda kidding, but really, these things were rough from the start. I built a Maquette T34 and think it looks great!
