Hi All

I have just purchased a dragon T34/85 1944 and i am just trying to work out whatsort of shade of green the finished model should be could anyone point me in the right direction?

Also anybody know where i can find some pics with stowage etc?

Paul- T-34,s came in many shades of green, Tamiya and Testers come to mind. A dark to medium green will work. Keep in mind weathering your -34. Dirt makes a T-34!! Some T-34,s left the factory with no paint at all. T-34,s didn,t carry alot of extra stowage. The T-34 was not a huge tank and any extra space was for the tank riders. I hope this helps. Cheers-

yeah great cheers was about what i thought and i have purchased a set of dragon tank riders so i was thinking of a victory ride into berlin sort of dio.

Paul- A Berlin dio sounds great. Good Luck with the dio!

As already mentioned a medium to dark green would do. Also some heavy weathering could look nice.
I think all T-34/85s were painted. It was only earlier models of the T-34/76 that was not painted due to being rushed to the front.

Good luck with your project!

The original Soviet color card for Soviet Protective Green was very close to FS 34102, a color available in may paint lines as a USAF cammo color. That said, there was plenty of variation during the war due to material shortages.

Somebody some where suggested starting with NATO green from Tamiya.
