T34/85 WW2 Main Russian battle tank

I know, you don't often find these and its still just available.

The predecessor T34-76 although was a sturdy beast lacked clout. And, during 1943, the Russians managed to capture a Tiger 1 tank. Looking at the design, the Russians redesigned the T34. One of the little changes they made was adding a massive 85mm gun to stop shells bouncing off German armour.

T34's are relatively crude tanks, with a metal clutch. This can take a bit of getting used to. But I say 'simple is good', anyone with some mechanical knowledge can maintain these. Yes, some jobs are difficult to get to. But that's all part of the fun of owning a tank.

With some basic engineering knowledge this is certainly restorable. After some 50 years, located in a town square its available.

This one is located in Czech, so if interested please talk to me.
