Need help knowing how the engine panels were removed for full matainence of the T-34/85 engine. Am building the HobbyBoss kit and would like to show the engine outside of the kit.

hi there i have the armegeddon press book and i will look for you tomorrow and reply back to you on that info .....i want to say that the panel is hinged on the bottom and whole rear plate opens to reveal the whole engine

To remove the entire engine requires taking off the back plate AND the engine deck, along with all the under-armor air intake and exhaust ducting.

If you look around the reference websites I have in the SU-100 build and then go looking for T-34 "stuff" there are lots of pictures on the web of open engine compartments.

thanks Jacques, looks like i loaned out my book
