RGronovius Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Who makes the best 1/35 T-34/85 kit? DML makes several T-34/85s and they are considered the best ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimDarrah Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yep, The Dragon/DML T-34/85s do look very nice. I have two of the NVA T-34/85Ms and will work on one soon. Tamiya made a T-34/85 back in the '70s but probably isn't up to modern standards. By the way, the DML kit I have #3318 has markings for 5 vehicles : 2@ Croatia, a Somali, Angolian and a NVA. Only thing that you might need is an aluminum gun barrel and maybe some etched brass to dress it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aldrich Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Tom, Overall Dragon makes the best. Depending on your build era I would choose the T-34/85M, T-34/85 (with bedspring armor [ultimate], T-34/85 model 1944 or the T-34/85 UTZ model. Try to stay away from 6066 (T-34/85 1944E) and sometimes listed as the Chinese Volunteers. It is a nice kit but the road wheels are sorely lacking. Basically stick with Dragon for the kit and there are hundreds of aftermarket items to choose from. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
