Great T-34/85 (1 Viewer)

I already ordered mine.looks great.at last the eastern front is getting some respect.I can finally give some oposition in my Kursk and Stalingrad dioramas.glad the manufacturers are listening to us.
 
Figarti T-34 all the way.....

I am sure the FL one will be excellent too.....but that will only match with their figures.

Why would you assume that? I think Frank, Terry and maybe others have done measurements that show it's 1/30.

When it rains, it pours. When this lot have been long retired, it will be up to the next generation of collectors to request that another one be made.

I am not going there again {eek3}....................... I guess I just live in another dimension from most.
 
well, plenty of T-34's to peruse and, I have had a good look at the pictures of the three manufcaturers who have made them. I think looking at the figarti one everyone has compared it with the K&C and said its better. I have had a look at the tracks and detail and, its better yes, but, even Figarti have seemingly skipped a lot of detail where are the holes in the wheels? and, failing to do that they have not even painted the solid molds that are their in their place!!!!

It cannot be a cost thing as that job on an AFV takes five minutes work.

K&C's is the same track and mold detail we have come to expect and while it is detailed say, to older models, its not chrisp and detailed as it should be.

First legion has produced the best most detailed T-34 so far their pictures show great track and wheel detail as it should be. Granted you pay more but, the cost is narrowing between all of the manufacturers but, detail is still quite far apart.

Fair point . On price in the UK the Figarti T34 is £20.00 cheaper then the k&C version .

This should settle the SIZE NOT SCALE issue once and for all. I am betting the Figarti and the K&C T-34's will be bigger than the FL.

Once again who cares, but for the diorama builders we need to know what can be used with what.

The first person who can confirm this please let me know it will affect my purchase decision. Alex
