The
Dragon 1/35 T34/85 UTZ Model is a
plastic model kit in the
Dragon WW2 Military Plastic Models range. This kit has received many modifications, the most remarkable of which is the "mattress spring" armor that was added to many T-34 turrets and hulls near the close of the war. This type of armor is often seen on photos of T-34/85s in such combat as the Battle for Berlin. This protective armor is formed from photo-etched metal parts on the kit. The same material, as well as metal, is also used for many other components (e.g. air-intake louvers). These additions provide a comprehensive upgrade in the level of detail. Modelers are even given the option of assembling a flamethrower version of the tank! A number of factories produced the T-34 during WWII, with one of the largest being the Ural Tank Factory, or UTZ for short.
