T-34: Russia's Armoured Spearhead (TankCraft) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 46 ratings

Von Kleist, one of Hitlers best panzer leaders, described the T-34 as The finest tank in the world. There could have been no finer accolade from a commander whose panzer divisions experienced the full fury of its devastating attacks on the Eastern Front. Without doubt, the T-34 was one of the best tanks of all time, and in this volume in the TankCraft series Robert Jackson tells its story. He describes its conception in the 1930s, its development during the Second World War, and its postwar deployment to over thirty countries within the Soviet sphere of influence.His book is an excellent reference work for the modeler, providing details of available kits, together with artworks showing the color schemes applied to the T-34 by its operators throughout the world. Photographs, many in color, illustrate the T-34 in action and there is a section dealing with the range of armored vehicles that were built using the T-34 chassis.Robert Jackson's introduction to the T-34 is necessary reading for tank enthusiasts and tank modelers alike.

Highly recommended......!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2018
The books in this series are amazing. Useful photos of builds in progress and after with explanations of how to do it yourself. Plenty of information regarding aftermarket items that can be purchased. If you are a beginner (or are looking for ideas) that is building a T-34 and want to make it the best you can, you need this reference book! You won't regret it.

Avoid this book. It is so full of extremely basic errors that you will be dumber for having read it. There are a great many better titles out there if you want to learn about T-34s.

Testi sintetici, molte foto e tavole a colori. Per gli appassionati di storia e di modellismo un ottimo acquisto, specie in formato kindle a meno di 4 euro

Ich bin seit Jahrzehnten Modellbauer, sowie ein Sammler von Zeitgeschichtlich fundierter Literatur. Für den Modellbauer, sowie für den Literaturinteressierten sind die Tank-Craft-Bücher einfach grandios. Gut recherchiert und dazu hervorragendes Bildmaterial. Was will man da mehr...??!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good modellers guide.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2018
Excellent book although the side view drawings at best are dodgy. The artist certainly drew the vehicles from memory rather than an actual vehicle. Otherwise, for modellers especially, this book is highly rated.
