RFM Egyptian T34/122

Mig has this on their site for preorder, looks like the release date is to be 22nd Oct....waiting with anticipation

It's a strangely fascinating vehicle to be sure

Personally I'm waiting for a regular post-WW2 T-34-85M, there's nothing on the market except for the primitive Dragon kit from ages past. If RFM doesn't make one, Miniart probably will.

Looks like you were right, BNA has it in stock as of today. Just ordered mine!

[Mark Aldrich]

After being in Virginia for two weeks, arrived home and opened mine up. Looks really nice. Contemplating opening it up but the interior is very basic and it's HUGE casemate begs to open it up.

[Adam Durrant]

There are a couple of walkarounds online. Not a lot in the turret, a massive breech, a couple of ammo boxes and some unidentifiable boxes and wires. The nice detail is the flame cut edges where they have taken the original turret top off.

My issue would be attempting to make the inside of the original turret look right.

[Adam Durrant]

True, having a look at the turret you would also have to do a huge amount of cutting to remove all the hatches, and the probably have to scratch build them all. A couple are fairly complex shapes. The easiest way may be to donate a T-34 turret from another kit to build on, but kinda defeats the purpose of buying the kit if you are just going to scratch build the turret!

I’m going to build mine OOB.

I'm thinking the same but still may open one simple one on each side.
