T-34/85 Korean War Chinese Volunteer "215"
4th Company, 4th Tank Regiment, 2nd Tank Dv

RFM’s 1:35 scale T-34/85 finished as Tank No.215, 4th Company, 4th Tank Regiment, 2nd Tank Division of the People's Volunteer Army(PVA), during the Korean War.

This T-34 was commanded by Yang Aru, who allegedly destroyed four and damaged one U.S. M46 Patton tanks and 20 U.N. bunkers between 6th to 8th July 1953, just 19 days before the armistice was signed!

The tank is now preserved in the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, in Beijing.

This has been an enjoyable kit to build albeit RFM’s instructions are a little vague in some areas, with part numbering getting a bit erratic, instructions to drill holes for parts without locating pins and some parts being missed altogether. It kept me on my toes ?

For the first time I used SMS paints, from Frome Model Centre, which were a real dream and I can’t wait to give them another go. I weathered using Abteilung 502 oils and Flory Models sand.
