How is this different from the Dragon T-34/85s?

Don't remember Dragon doing an interior kit,don't you mean Afv club?

This one has the initial gun type, the D-5T, I believe that Dragon don't market any kit with this gun. You can see that the mantlet is diferent also

The Dragon and AFV Club kits depict tanks built in the final six months of the war (from Factories 183 and 174, respectively). Miniart is depicting one of the first T-34/85 tanks, as built at Factory 112 in Feb-March, 1944. Has a different gun and turret.

Thanks, Gerald!

this is a stunning kit. i cant wait for it to be released.

Can't seem to remember if the AFV Club kit of the T-34/76 had shells for the ammo rack or if I chose not to include them. Either way I enjoyed that one so this one should also be fun!

LINK This detailing the different type of T-34/85 turrets. I don't think the T-34/85 1943 an untouched topic, but such would usually be called "T-34/85 Model 1943". An interior model for this one is interesting. The D-5T gun has large breech, there is place for only 2 crews in the turret. Then, some engineer managed to make the D-5T breech half a meter shorter, the Zis-53 tank gun, making it just enough space for an extra crew, therefore making it a 3 crews turret instead of 2 crews turret. I hope they make a clear version like AFV Club.
