The ICM 35367 1/35 T‑34‑85 faithfully recreates one of the most important and influential armored fighting vehicles of World War II. Introduced by the Soviet Union in 1944, the T‑34‑85 was a crucial upgrade of the earlier T‑34 series, developed in direct response to the appearance of heavily armored German tanks such as the Panther and Tiger.
Historical Background
The T‑34‑85 combined the proven strengths of the original T‑34—sloped armor, mechanical simplicity, and excellent mobility—with a newly designed three‑man turret mounting an 85 mm gun. This change significantly improved firepower, crew efficiency, and battlefield survivability. From 1944 through the end of the war, the T‑34‑85 became the standard medium tank of the Red Army, playing a decisive role during major offensives including Operation Bagration, the liberation of Eastern Europe, and the final assault on Berlin in 1945.
Over tens of thousands of T‑34‑85s were produced, and the type continued to serve in many countries well after WWII, cementing its legacy as one of the most successful tank designs of the 20th century.
