Hey,thats pretty cool that you can climb on the tanks and pose for pictures,here in the US its keep off the displays "no lawsuits from falling off" but I guess it protects the pieces from damage,but again thats a cool photo !!!

I think the camo scheme you refer to was mentioned in a KV2 thread, it may also help you if you look up russian AFVs captured by Finland.

Well, it seems that nobody cares what will happen with these tanks - I just used maybe last opportunity to take this kind of picture before gypsies steal rest of it to sell as a scrap... unfortunately a lot of pieces of these tanks (including engines) are already stolen .

Just a word of warning, don't use that photo as reference. It's of a restored vehicle painted in a made-up scheme resembling the war-time three-color paint job. The colors are all wrong.

Here's a T-34/76 with accurate colors: Click

This is likely the reference picture (sorry, no color) for the Dragon’s 1/72 kit – it could be any of those two green/brown ones (#228 or #248), I guess. As already noted, it’s not T-34/85, it’s T-34/76 with Uralmash (pressed) turret. The references I have seen are a bit unclear about the location - few place it at Leningrad Front in 1943, but I’ve also seen it captioned (if I recall correctly) as Kharkov or Lvov area.



Concord’s Soviet Tank in Combat 1941-45 has a color plate (page 34) showing T-34 Mod. 1943 in green/earth brown camo schema. The machine supposedly belongs to 30th Guards Tank Brigade, Leningrad Front, 1943. It has number 106 and combat name “Stalinets” (#107 Sergei Kirov is also mentioned for the same scheme). The caption also claims that this camo was “common in 1943” without any further details.
