Thanks guys Landon

i messed up i ment before 1950 sorry.

Those tanks are the T34 / 76.
Dragon make the kit for sure, but Tamiya, I don't know.
But I tought a several russian tanks were used on the battlefield (in kursk). But that could probably my mistake.

Okay, 'Clash of Steel' looks like this

The T-34s appear to be Mod 43s (though the turret isn't rendered very accurately)

At the moment, Dragon don't do that version, so you will either have to back-date one of their T-34-85s with a resin turret and fuel boxes or buy the less-accurate Tamiya or Zvezda models

Tamiya does make this version its their kit number 35059. It ain't the best, but it will make the version you see in the picture including the squre fuel tanks

Italeri make a fairly decent T34/76 `43 model also. It would be a better option than the tamiya version.

In this case Italeri = Zvezda, same model, different boxes. Tracks are terrible either way. You'll also need some different roadwheels to replicate the tank in the painting.

Thanks guys for the help i might not make it just like that but i had something in mind like it.
Thanks Landon
