New Russian Armour Or Too Much Vodka (1 Viewer)

[Phantom Warrior]

Is this really getting produced or just a coincidence the T-34 turret ring will take a Valentine turret? Is K&C expanding their mix and match tank commanders program into a mix and match hull and turret option {eek3}^&confuse^&grin

Maybe it's too early in the am but what is your point, that turrets are interchangeable? All turrets, to my knowledge, contain the "table" under them so they fit into the tank and swivel. Is that the point?

In relation to the picture how would that be a popular release? I am not sure that many would be interested in a Russian variant of such design. If they go down that route I would have thought some of the German conversions to T-34's would have been a better route. Its not something I would put my hand in my pocket to but, stick a limited edition next to it and, it will fly!!

Based on the text, perhaps there was an instance where a Valentine turret was modified for Eastern use. Better fire up Google Terry :wink2:

It's from Page 24 of the new Collector Magazine #37 so it must be true. :wink2:^&cool

Never read or heard of this... ^&confuse If it was ever made, its not even a footnote in any T-34 book. As an odd experiment, maybe one and a picture, who knows? To me it sounds like a US$ 3 bill...{sm4}{sm4}{sm4}

How can you be so sceptical. Andy put it in the Collector's magazine. But I'm going to pass on it anyway and wait for the T-34 Tiger. Built at the Libau Shipyard in late Summer 1944, it served with the 3rd Panzer Regiment, 2nd Panzer Division, in the cut-off Kurland Pocket. The tank commander was Wolfgang Kloth and the tank was designated as Pz.Kmpf. 34/88.

I understand these variants were originally issued to the 1st April Shock Tank Brigade

Was I being sceptical??

Forget the vodka, I think he's been hitting the Maotai. For those who have never had it, think of Lloyd Bridges in the movie Airplane when he was sniffing the glue

Not a buy for me it looks strange . I am looking at the Russian Valentine for my collection. Chris.
