Italeri 7078 - 1/72 T-34 Model 1943 - Authentic WWII modelling subject

The Italeri 7078 - 1/72 T-34 Model 1943 offers a faithful small-scale representation of the Soviet medium tank that shaped many Eastern Front engagements. This kit is aimed at those who enjoy historically accurate modelling and tidy, small-scale builds.

Context and kit features

The T-34's balance of armour and mobility made it influential during WWII. This edition reproduces the 1943 updates and provides parts that reflect the changes introduced that year. The build gives a clear view of period engineering for modellers interested in accurate restorations and displays.

Finishing options and collector use

Included decals cover five marking schemes and a colour instruction sheet helps with painting and assembly choices. The compact size at 1/72 scale makes it excellent for grouping with other subjects or for compact display cases.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/72 scale
  • Manufacture material - PS plastic
  • Assembly - requires adhesive
  • Paint - not provided

What glue should I use for the plastic parts?

Use purpose-made polystyrene cement or a liquid solvent cement for best joints. Avoid general purpose craft glues as they may not bond PS plastic reliably.

Can this kit be upgraded with aftermarket parts?

Yes, there are aftermarket metal barrels and resin detail sets available for 1/72 T-34s. Check compatibility with the Italeri sprue layout before purchasing upgrades.

How should I approach painting and weathering?

Start with a primer, apply base colours to match the chosen scheme, then use washes and drybrushing for depth. Weathering powders and chipping techniques add realism for display pieces.

Does the kit include marking options for different units?

Yes, the decal sheet contains markings for five different versions, allowing you to represent a range of units and field variations from 1943.

How should I store or display the completed model?

Keep finished models away from direct sunlight and dust. Use a display case or sealed shelf and consider a soft base to prevent accidental knocks during handling.
