NOTES:

 

First look:

By now you should be familiar with this published style, so to save you and me time. I will list the items it contains.

36 black and white photographs, 4 full 1/35-scale plans, 16 sketch drawings of internal and external differences in the various T34/85'sSome are taken from the Tec manual on the T34 series. It has also 13 colour illustrations.

This magazine aims to bring the story of the T34/85 right up to gate with the very latest conflict photographs in Kosovo.It has many new photographs taken from combat stills and covers the period from the end of WW2 up to yesterday. It has a full set of plans for the Bulgarian T34/85, which I know was only built as a none armoured mock up. Only the lower chassis was working, the rest of the turret and gun are mild steel and none functional. No internals were fitted.

In conclusion, if you want to complete an other gap in the history of the post war service of the T34/85 then this book is for you.

Once again I wish the publishers would seriously think about publishing in English only. It deserves a place on every Russian Armour enthusiast reference self.

Highly recommended.
