james johnsonLook forward to seeing this one built. I believe this is the "Mickey Mouse" version. I need a '43 T34/ for my collection. This is one I may get but I'm looking at the Revell version just to check out their armor.
Paint scheme?
Have fun!

william wiseafter a long and productive weekend I'm about 80% complete. it went together smoothly the only problem i encountered was the fitting of the upper and lower hull but nothing a little sanding and clamps couldn't cure. i don't believe this is the "mickey mouse" version i believe those had the two round hatches that when opened looked like mouse ears this version has a commanders cupola with split hatches and vision slits. I haven't decided on the paint scheme yet but I'm sure it will be green. I cant comment on the Revell kit as i don't have that one but years ago i built their Pz III M/N kit and it was decent although it may have been a rebox of the old Dragon kit. ill try to post some pics here in a bit.

james johnsonyeah, it seems to me that I had issues with the way the rear upper hull mounted to the bottom on a couple of my Dragon T 34's........double, triple checked my alignment but no, they just didn't fit right. Sanding, putty and clamps! a bit aggravating though.

william wiseA buddy of mine is currently working on the Dragon T-34/85 premium kit w/the bed pan armor and encountered the same problem. either all three of us suck or there's a problem with the fit, Any body else out there encounter this issue with the dragon T-34 kits?

william wiseyep same issue me and my buddy encountered wasn't really a difficult fix but your right a bit aggravating trying to figure out if you went wrong or was it the kit and since yours looks like the early model 40 or 41 it must be the kits.

james johnsonYep! Thanks Frank, I've looking at Dragon #6424 for a while now....It'll probably be a while before I get to it though, my dance card is kind of full for modeling: 1. Finish Tiger I 2. Mark IV 3. Su-122 4. King Tiger..........after that? Maybe Dragon 6424
