Did the Soviets have a Command version of the T-34/85 with extra radios and two or more antennas in WW 2 ? I'm building a half dozen Bolt Action 1/56 scale tanks and want to have a little variety.

The command version of T-34-85 has much effective RSB-1 (RSBF-3T) radio station instead of 9RS radio in regular tanks. These vehicles had no any external differences as compared with usual tanks.
The command T-34-85 tanks were produced in 1944 - 45 in 274 examples.

Thanks for the info , Ed . Guess I'll just vary the cast texture on the turrets and add or delete fuel drums to give them a different look
Dumb question maybe, could a T-34/85 have a radio mounted in the hull as well as the turret ? Then I could add the hull side antenna pot like on the T-34/76 . Hmmm...

Maybe, on some post-war tanks ? Or, maybe, on foreign-built T-34-85s (Czech, Polish, Yugoslavian) ? I do not know exact answer.
