Takom 2065 T30/34 U.S. Heavy Tank 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the famous American heavy tank T30/T34 in 1/35 scale. The set was developed for the most demanding modelers who value historical accuracy and realistic details in recreating postwar armored vehicles.

Model and historical period

The presented model depicts the T30/T34 tank – these were prototype American heavy tanks created at the end of World War II and at the beginning of the Cold War era. The T30 and T34 tank projects were a response to the increasing needs of Allied armored forces in relation to the vehicles used by Germany. Ultimately, however, serial production of these powerful machines did not proceed due to changing military doctrines and the development of technology. Only a short series of prototypes was produced, which were mainly used for testing on military proving grounds in the United States in the late 1940s.
