An unpleasant surprise for Guderian
I’ve just finished reading a couple books about the war on the eastern front in WWII, so it was good to see this model by Henrik Hoexbroe of a Soviet T-34 tank. I especially like all the equipment attached to the exterior and the little red flag on the back.
For those of you who are extreme nerds like me, yes I know it’s a 1944 model, so it probably wasn’t as much of a surprise for the wermacht as the 1940 model. I took a little artistic license.

Actually, by the white stripe you can tell it`s Spring 1945. :)

We’ve seen many T-34s, but this one really does a good job of capturing the curves on the turret. Big, heavy, and rugged, just like the real thing!

Excellent tank, and a good mixture of studs and tiles.

One of best tanks I have ever seen :)

@Liova; I understand that white markings were used already at Don and Kursk, although the white stripes were used by all units attacking Berlin by April ยด45.

@All; Thank you! ;-)

Hei as soon as I saw this on Brickshelf I immediately send the link to my friends who are WWII buffs as well. Of course they really appreciated it.
I really liked the detail of the red flag.
It’s a great MOC.

If that dog was just an inch to the left, there would be a lot of comments. :)
