I think it's going to be a long job - sadly for me there's no kit with all the variations I need so I'm going to have to buy a couple of kits, some after market parts and come up with a bit of a hybrid! If it turns out ok I'll post a photo when it's done - if not I'll stay quiet!

Thanks again for your help with this Eddie - I would not have cracked this without you!

Thanks a lot for your help with this Eddie. What exactly is that piece that I tried to describe in point 1 of my original post? I did buy a book on T34's and although I found pictures of it on some models I never found any reference to what it was called, what it was made of (some look wooden/some metal), or what it did. I have seen similar on other later model soviet tanks but again no mention of what it did...

Help needed! I'm trying to identify the model/variant of this T34 as part of a model project which I would like to get as true to the photo as possible. Much searching of the internet hasn't helped and I'd rather avoid spending £15+ on a book which may not even contain the info I need! Identifying features; 1. There is a short upright metal plate attached to the front hull (above the spare track)which stretches from fender to fender and the driver is resting his arm on. 2. Square fenders at the front as opposed to rounded 3. Appears the cupola doors (far side of turret), open to the left and right of the turret as opposed to front and back I would also like to correctly identify the model of the wheels, tracks and the main gun. I would be grateful if anyone has any info as to what other markings (if any) would be on a Polish T34 apart from the eagle and numbers (902?) which are visible on the turret This photo was taken some time after 1953
