All likelihood all-new. The original kit had a plain underside (probably the reason they included an underside view )and a different turret, road wheels and fenders. It also looks like the rear screen will be hollow unlike the ICM kits.

And yes, there's room for another T-34/85. So many production variants that no two kits need be quite the same and there were tens of thousands of the things with many still running around.

It's about time Zvezda took another stab at this iconic Soviet tank.

Looks good, I've been waiting for this but how much would it cost and would the treads be workable or not?

Zvezda's recent Panther was said to be very good and included link-and-length workable tracks. I am excited for this release and am confident that it will be great.

Very good chance for Zvezda. Dragon kit is hard to get and pricy except the second hand kit. Academy kit is poor and Afv club kit is so complex. Good luck
