Does anyone know if anyone has produced a set of Photo etch to make this experimental T-34 version, apparently tested around Kursk? I seem to remember seeing a photo of one ages ago, but I can't find it for the life of me now.

Here's what looks like a scale model of this prototype
and the 1:1 one (no add-on armor on the turret though...) :
According to the drawings caption, it was built by the "Krasnoe Sormovo" (Red Sormovo) factory №112 in 1943 (1942 according to other sources) .

Looks actually pretty cool... Let's see if I can get it in the game.

There is a tank master magazine issue with this and more experimental setups for the T34. I will try to dig it up....

Judging from the shot up wreck it either was lost in combat or used as a target. Odd how the lower front plate had come off but the turret is still on.

Prior info I have read is that it was taken out by a towed 88.
