My Dream Model
mantlet manufactured at the Barrikady
factory. Another distinction was the
interlocking glacis, top, and rear plates
with the hull side plates. Other apparent
details included the rectangular hatch
located on the rear hull plate, and the
simplified rear turret plate. Due to a
shortage in rubber, the 1941/42 STZ T-34s
had all steel wheels.
variants. The techniques I used to convert
this model are time-consuming but basic.
If you are looking to undertake your first
major conversion this subject might be
perfect for you. All you need to do is take
your time and double check all of your
measurements before making any cuts.
Please file and dry-fit the hull parts
continuously to insure proper fit before
gluing them together. You should
completely read the first part of this article
before undertaking the conversion.
We modellers all have that one subject we
keep hesitating with. We keep waiting until
our modeling skills reach a level that will
allow us to construct and finish this special
subject making the perfect model to reflect
on though out the rest of our years. The
unpainted Stalingrad T-34/76 is my long
awaited special subject for two reasons.
The first reason being the T-34/76 is my
preferred subject to model. The second is
that I was a welder/metal worker on a
factory floor for the first years of my career
before I got soft and moved into an air-
conditioned cubicle.
The Stalingrad Tractor Plant continued to
produce T-34s until September of 1942
when the Germans were already at the
outskirts of the city. It has long since been
rumored that the final T-34s were being
driven straight off the production lines,
without paint, into battle manned by the
factory workers that built them.
Living in America I do not have many
Second World War Soviet tanks in my
neighbourhood. I had to guestimate some
of the dimensions on this conversion
because I only had photos and drawings to
go by. As you undertake other conversions
after this one, you will find that some
guesswork for the exact size and shape of
various details is always needed. With all
of this in mind, let’s go on.
The STZ T-34
The Stalingrad Tractor plant (STZ) T-34/76,
1941/42 production tanks had a number of
details that differentiated it from other
variants including the T-34 models today
on the market. The most obvious detail
was the simplified pointed F-34 gun
For beginners looking to do
their first major conversion….
In part one of these articles I am going to
explain to you, with the aid of photos, how
I constructed one of the STZ T-34, 1941/42
