I just picked up one of the Hobby Boss T-34/85's and its the most fantastic model ive ever seen. I normally build only modern stuff but these really have drawn me to ww2 armor and they are 1/48-id never normally build that. The quaility of parts is amazing and the detail is superb, I recommend any modeller should buy at least one or 2 even if this isnt your area of interest, they cost £11.99 here in the Uk which is a bargain, if Hobby Boss do well you never know what they could produce. I'll post some pictures of mine in progress later in the week.

Hi Rob

The pictures of the turret on PMMS show a strange feature on the LHS of the turret, just above the bulge for the power traverse motor. How easy would it be to sort out?

Real one looks like this:
