In this review we have a chance to talk about Miniart 1/35 T-34/85 Plant 112 Spring 1944 (35294). Today's kit comes as Interior Kit, so there are additional parts for internal features. Such build might be handy for diorama projects or maybe just as a bit more sophisticated model. I guess T-34 doesn't need an extra introduction. Packaging is typical - all frames are packed into the same plastic bag. Let's open this kit and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with T-IV H kit in the same scale.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts closer.
On the first photo you can see ammo stowage boxes as well as some roadwheels and idlers. Note also separate track links which should be combined together. These parts look great and should give you a nice result.
Next we see first interior parts for engine and whole compartment around. I recommend to expose the engine somehow because Miniart provides really nice copy of the powerplant.
Turret should be glued out of several parts. Separate panels will be installed inside, while top shell comes as single-piece element.
Main gun barrel is molded as single-piece part here. In my opinion such part should look fine on the model and there is no need to spend extra for metal replacement. Amount of small parts in this kit is really impressive.
Fuel tanks should be also glued out of several parts. Be careful with these separate halves.
Next large frame brings hull panels. Here you will find glacis plate as well as rear armor wall. All hatches are molded separately, what should be handy for figures placement.
All these parts will go inside the model Be careful with thin parts - they might be tricky to separate off the frame.
As the whole hull is assembled out of separate panels, it is better to keep track of alignment.
Top hull cover can be found on the last frame. Note that lower hull section should be also glued out of separate parts.
These two come in the same plastic bag. Decals are printed in Decograph, so there is nothing to worry about. Clear parts look fine, but there are no masks included.
Miniart included PE fret here, so you will have a chance to add some fine features on your model.
All six markings can be seen on the photo above. As for the assembly manual - you can check all pages in the video-review.
New kit should be already available for purchase. In one box you will get an impressive model which should be interesting to build. Parts count is truly amazing here, so you should be ready to work with such kit. This is definitely not the right choice for beginners, I would recommend them to get a version without interior. I also hope that Miniart will start including masks or painting templates for the kit, so that painting process would be quicker and easier.
