Historical Background and Model Use

T-34/85 Model 1944 "Factory No.174" is a Soviet medium tank, a legendary modification of the iconic T-34 equipped with a new, more powerful 85 mm gun. Produced by Factory No. 174 in Omsk, this version stood out from other factories’ versions with its specific production details, which Trumpeter has reproduced with exceptional accuracy. T-34/85 tanks played a key role in the final stages of World War II, participating in, among others, the battles for Budapest, Berlin, and the fighting for Eastern Europe. They were used by the Red Army between 1944-1945, and later by many countries of the Eastern Bloc, in some cases even into the 1960s.
