Hi Mike

I guess it depends on what "really strange paint schemes" means Anyway here's another thread that may be worth a look :

Hi Mike

It should be useful to know what T-34 version you'd like to depict.

Here some other ones

Hi Mauro,

LOL very very true my friend, but in all honesty as I haven't yet brought a kit the field is wide open

I have been thinking of the AFV T34 with interior but am open to all advice options, I must admit i haven't even looked if it is a T34 /76 or A T34/85 & don't know what the best kit is as I have to make it OOB

Cheers Mike

Hi Edward, Frenchy, Mauro & Jason,

Thank you so very much for your replies & help not only were their some great T34 photos & colours amongst those sites, but also some other great photos of Russian pieces of heavy metal.

Cheers Mike

So, look here. There are some interesting T-34/76

Here some 85 exemplars

As far as I know, captured exemplars aside, on average T-34/76s can give you more possibilties to represent an unusual camo scheme. In fact, almost all the T-34/85 were painted in Russian green

Mauro,

Once again you provide some great ideas, I must admit the T34/85 with the white & squiqqly green lines looks very interesting.

I shall put that in the top 5 ideas so far

According to this famous site

http://beute.narod.ru/Beutepanzer/su/color/T-34-85/t-34-85.htm

It was a T-34-85 belonging to the 5th SS Pz.Div. "Wiking". It operated in Hungary in Febryary 1945.

Here a 2 tones Czech T-34
