T-34 obr 1942 is the first of our boxes, they are aimed at making it easier to collect your Flames of War forces.
Each box contains a complete unit that, once painted, is ready to take to the field of battle.
The first of these is the T-34 obr 1942, the most numerous of the T-34 variants.
You may have noticed we have made a slight change in how we refer to the T-34s, so you may remember our old version of this tank as the obr 1943. More recent research based on Russian sources has led to the change.
The T-34 obr 1942 was the workhorse of the Red Army throughout the war. While outclassed with its 76mm main gun, it is still a viable support tank - flanking at high speed, blasting enemy gun pits and generally harassing enemy tanks. They're often found with the Guards mechanised units as a reliable tank, used to exploit through gaps in the enemy line. The remaining tanks and infantry would follow-up and secure the opening for the remaining Red Army units.
What do You Get?
The tanks inside have been individually sculpted with a great array of stowage, giving each tank its own character. And they look fantastic! (see below for more information)
The box is packed full of goodies, five individually sculpted T-34s, decals, and mounted tank crew.
Inside you will find the commanders cupola (installed on tanks from late 1943 on), some spare tracks and a few extra fuel barrels for your T-34 obr 1942.
Also included is the OT-34 flame tanks flame nozzle, which fits in the hull machine-gun port.
You will also get a sheet of our new Soviet decals. The sheet contains red stars, slogans and unit numbers (right).
The box also includes ten magnets so that you can magnatise your turrets, keeping them safe from harm.
Check out our article on using magnets for some tips on installing them into your tanks!
