Some time ago, I can't remember where, I saw someone came out with a set of Resin speakers used on later war T-34's. Does anyone have a clue as to who manufactured this or where I can find some good quality photo's so I can scratch build a set for T-34 I'm building? I have only 1 grainy photo of a T-34/76 with a speaker on one side, and can't see if the other had a speaker too.

Hi Bob ! (and welcome to Armorama )

I suspect I may have had that set at some point, at least I found one of the speakers in my T-34 spares box a week or two ago. Frankly, you might as well scratchbuild the speaker, it's just a box with a louvred front.

T-34 Mythical Weapon mentions the propaganda tank, I'll have a look tonight to see if it has more than the picture we've all seen.

This is the one and only photo of the propaganda T-34 that I've seen (from rkkaww2) , with better detail than the copy published in the T-34 In Action by Squadron.



The resolution of the pic printed in T-34 Mythical Weapon is slightly better still, and the tank definitely has speakers on both sides - the dark blob visible above behind the figures is a combination of an open driver's hatch and the LHS speaker. There are also CAD plans based on the photo, but they look a little 'imaginative' to me.

Picture shows more detail than the resin 'box' I bought (which is IIRC undersized too). But I can't recall at the moment who made my set.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. Looks like I'm breaking out the plastic card...

Thanks, Frenchy. I appreciate that info. Looks like I'll be breaking out the plastic card, though.
