Description The T-34 entered service with the Red Army in 1940.  It proved to be very successful initially against the early Panzers but later improvements had to be made and they saw a longer gun and new turret and then a larger 85mm gun.

The T-34 was fast and agile able reach over 30mph and wide tracks allowed it to keep moving even on difficult terrain.  

The early model weighed 26 tons had a crew of four and was armed with 2 x 7.62 mm machine guns as well as the main gun.

This example is a T-34/76 of the Polish Army 1943.

Tactical number 235 means that this tank belonged to the 1st Polish Armoured Brigade (2nd reg, 3rd coy, tank no 5), subordinated to the 1st Polish Army. The 1st ArmBde received 32 tanks of this model on 22 Oct 1943 and used them during battles on Eastern Front in Poland from August 1944 till March 1945.

One thing I need to point out: the eagle on People's Army of Poland's tanks was not identical with that of Polish coat of arms, it was much simplified (often painted by hand) and it did not have a crown (a communist variant):



Other than that, a very good job

That's right. The eagle on the turret did not have a crown and it was surely not so high-level painted as it is on WS-Clave's drawing.
