T34/85 by Tamiya in 1/35 scale, Part 3, Grab Handels, Fuel Tanks, PE Shovel

In this video we make wire grab handles to replace the kit ones, use plastic putty for weld seams on our handles, assemble the external fuel tanks, and assemble and mount the PE shovel for our WWII T34/85 medium tank by Tamiya in 1/35 scale. The T34/85 was the up-gunned version of the T34/76 that first saw front line service in 1942 against German forces. Production began in January or 1944 to counter the German Tigers and Panther tanks. The major improvements were the 85mm main gun and a new 3-man turret compared to it's predecessor with the 76mm gun and a 2-man turret.
