Hi Guys

I have only one question. Why can't a company put that kind of detail in a 1/35th scale kit? The pieces would be a bit smaller than they are in 1/16th but so.
But then again, if they did it would have a four digit price tag. Oh well. Really good build though.

Oh, come on, who hasn't been for a spin in a T-34/85? Or at least a T-55? (the ride's about the same ... )

Well, if you find youself in Minnesota with an extra $120, be reeeady toooo ruuuumble!



For less than the list price of a Trumpeter kit, you can go for a ride in the real thing. Here's their site...

http://www.tankride.com/tankride.html

...and some stories from some who have done the rumble...

http://www.armchairgeneral.com/page_left_column.php?content=article_disp&p=318&page=1

http://www.startribune.com/stories/319/4169593.html

FYI...I haven't gone for a ride with them, and are not connected with TankRide in anyway other than a shared interest in the T-34. I guess they're interest is about 16 times bigger than mine though.

Here are some more privately owned running T-34s...

This one is about mid-page and inclues the sound of the T-34 idling...

Some of you sound interested in owning your own. Here are some tips from an owner...

If that's not enough to put you off...here's a story about riding around in one while trying to stay alive while fighting a war...
