Description:The book is essentially divided into three parts, all of which use the parallel Polish-left/English-right format. The first part covers the history of the early T-34 and its prototypes A-20, A-32 and A-34 the second part available «kits and bits» in 1/72 and 1/35 scales and the third part provides a number of plans of the early T-34 and prototype tanks and 33 separate sketches with descriptions of T-34 prototypes and sub-variants from 1939 up until the introduction of the «improved» (e.g. three-man) turret T-34 Model 1942. The drawings will help anyone wanting to do an accurate early T-34 model, but are of «clean» vehicles and show very little of what turns out to have been standardized stowage on the production tanks. Overall the book covers a lot of ground and is not bad, and in some respects working in another language can be quite difficult. It is a handy aid for most modelers, and the section on the various versions by date of production should be helpful.
