Tamiya 32515 1/48 T-34/76 Model 1941 - Cast Turret Replica

The Tamiya 1/48 scale model of the Russian T-34/76 from 1941 presents a compact but faithful representation of an influential WWII tank. Praised for its combination of manoeuvrability, effective armament and straightforward manufacture, the T-34/76 proved decisive in many engagements on the Eastern Front. This kit highlights the vehicle's key traits for enthusiasts and display collectors.

Service History and Vehicle Traits

Introduced in 1940, the T-34/76 rapidly became central to Soviet armoured formations during the conflict. Its 500hp V-2 diesel engine and Christie-style suspension delivered a capable cross-country platform while remaining economical to produce. The 76.2mm main gun and sloped armour design improved battlefield survivability. The model accurately captures the 1941 cast turret profile.

Kit Composition and Builder Notes

The model comes with a die-cast lower hull providing authentic weight and greater stability for display. Single-piece molded suspension arms help keep the assembly strong and aligned. The pre-coated die-cast hull reduces finishing steps and supports a realistic paint finish. It pairs nicely with other WWII models in a collection, such as the Tiger I or Sherman.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 138mm

A careful base coat, subtle weathering and panel shading work well at 1/48 scale. Use thin layers and controlled washes to preserve the small details.
Most Tamiya kits include a decal sheet for basic markings. Check the instruction sheet supplied with the box for the exact decal contents and placement guidance.
This kit is intended as a static display model. Adding lights or motorised features would require significant modification and careful planning due to limited internal space at 1/48 scale.
Tamiya offers some replacement parts for older kits, but availability varies. Contact authorised stockists or Tamiya customer support with the kit number to check for spares.
