1/56th Scale T34/85 - cheap on ebay

[Johnnytodd]

I've been meaning to recommend the T34/85 made by delprado.  Bargain priced to build a Soviet horde - these are avilable on ebay for about $12 (including postage!)..  They are advertised as 1/60th scale but measure almost exactly 1/56th.  The proportions and details are pretty accurate as well. The models come in two pieces of heavy fiberglass resin with soft white metal details. I've replaced the lead barrel with a brass rod, repainted this one then added a BAM commander.

That 's what i'm bidding on 

[Col.Stone]

I won i won,, got it for a dollar, + 9.50 shipping,, ooh, hope it matches my BA ones, otherwise it'll get a repaint for the NVA

Thanks to everyone who might have looked but didn't put in a bid

[Col.Stone]

They're bigger than Bolt action ones
but only slightly, i can hardly see the difference when they're stood next to each other..
pic to come*, unless someone else already has compared them

*gotta find a camera

[Johnnytodd]

Here's a comparison:





I've taken some measurements and found the brandX T-34 to be closer to 1/56th than the BAM model - closer to the originals in proportion as well.  If anyone is interested, I have a couple extra of these T-34/85s to sell (cheap! of course) PM me.

[Col.Stone]

thanks
 i'll sure be getting a few more later on

A bit of shameless, self-promotion:  The BAM T-34 shown above is currently for sale on ebay.
