Description: This listing is for a new North Korean T-34/85 Medium Tank. This T-34/85 was one of only an estimated 45 tanks shared by the 16th and 17th Armored Brigades at the time of the NKPA's invasion of South Korea on June 25th, 1950. The Soviet-supplied T-34/85s, numbering 258 in total, were in the vanguard of the invasion, and they initially swept all before them. The tide was eventually turned in September 1950 by a combination of superior UN air power and the arrival of US Marine Corps' M26 Pershing tanks in-theatre. This particular T-34/85 was almost certainly assigned to the 16th's brigade or regimental commander, as it was numbered 800 -- tanks with turret numbers ending in 00 were typically assigned to command crews. The tank was one of a number knocked out in the fighting along the banks of the Maktong River on September 4th, 1950. This edition was released in 2003 with a small quantity distributed world wide. Scale: 1/50 Length: 4 3/4" Width: 2 1/2" Note: This release comes with an antenna and a limited edition card included. The outer box has some shelves ware . Model was painted with some dirt, oil, weathering effect all done by manufacturer. T34/85 Tank The T34/85 tank was first produced during the winter of 1943-44 as a response to the growing presence of German Panther and Tiger tanks. It had a new 85mm gun mounted in a cast steel turret originally developed for the KV-85 heavy tank. The rest of the tank was virtually unchanged from the original T-34/76 apart from an enlarged turret to provide space for three crewmen. This enabled the commander to fulfill his main function of commanding the tank rather than helping to serve the main gun. The wide tracks enabled the vehicle to traverse all types of ground including soft mud and snow, which allowed it to operate in areas some of the older German tanks could not travel.
