This
Dragon 1/72 T-34/76 Mod.1942 Casting Turret, Leningrad 1943 is a
diecast assembled model in the
Dragon Assembled Military Models range.
This Dragon diecast 1/72 model represents a T-34 fighting on the horrific Leningrad Front in 1943. The tank is fitted with a cast turret, but it doesnt possess the standard coat of green-colored paint found on most Soviet armored vehicles of the time. Instead it has a sand-colored camouflage overspray pattern that makes the model stand out. The collectors piece has been carefully and professionally assembled and painted to make it as realistic as possible.
An appropriate amount of weathering has been applied using a dry-brush painting technique. It was tanks like this that put up such a spirited defense in the face of appalling conditions in Leningrad. Perhaps the second most lethal battle in world history, the Siege of Leningrad lasted from September 8, 1941 till January 27, 1944. When it comes to the number of deaths caused by the German siege of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), most commentators settle on a figure of around 1.1 million. The chief cause of death was due to starvation and exposure. The Russian defenders resisted for 872 days, while the German army continued to shell it with artillery. Dragon Armor has released a scale model portraying a veteran of the siege - a T-34/76 Mod.1942 tank.
