Hi Karlos.
Well there are many that do this kit, but I like the Dragon one.
There is the T34/76 versions also, mind you Tamiya are not bad ether, these are all Plastic kits.

Karlos,
Depends how 'late' you want. Dragon originally released a post-war option with Chinese and North Vietnamese markings (but I think it's probably the one above in a previous boxing).
The Tamiya T-34/85 is nice and simple to build but has shape issues compared to the Dragon kits (although whether you or anybody else would notice them once the model is finished is a moot point...)

Hi Karlos, you may also want to take into account availability when deciding which one you'll build, The Tamiya T34/85 isn't in circulation at the mo, as I've been looking one for myself, hope that helps a bit, Jason

started this last night, it is my first Dragon kit, overall a good start the wheels etc cleaned up really nice and easy, had a quick shufti at the etch stuff(half of which I won't be using as they are bed springs, used to portray the soviet version,and I am trying for a Korean version-more goodies for the spares box) . tonight I will be fitting out the lower hull.....

.. half of which I won't be using as they are bed springs, used to portray the soviet version ... Oooh Karlos, keep the bits, if you don't use them, I'd love to have them for my T34 which will sit on the Trumpeter MAZ tank Transporter. ;D

cracking on with this now(scale model world an all that doncha know?) did a little research on t'interweb, after I bought the kit, seems the soviets sold on a load of war (1943/44 vintage) surplus T34's to the Koreans as the front mud guards on the pix I have of Korean T34's are all straight as opposed to the curved pieces of metalwork supplied as options with the kit.started construction, running gear etc OK , bit of a prob with the turret , there are 2 infill pieces either side of the turret front cheeks needed a bit of filler, superstructure OK, come to mate the superstructure to the hull..................major gap at the rear where it meets the hull, not impressed at all, going to need oodles of filler methinks, debating whether to use any of the etch for the air intakes etc...............will keep you updated..maybe some pix as well........

'Hey', Nick I have T34/85 made up, it needs some work,tracks etc, but it maybe useful to you for your load. Its a late model with strait mud guards and square fuel tanks on rear. If any good can bring to Telford, where you can look at it and decide, that is if you have not got one already.
