“Berlin 1945” with new parts.
The distinguishing feature of this version of Academy’s T34 is
new, photo-etched bed-spring armor which gets installed on the
body and turret. During the war, it protected against handheld
anti-tank weapons. While not actually “bedsprings” these
purpose-made, mesh shields derived their name from their close
resemblance to actual bedsprings.

Other new parts in the kit include our replica of the made-in
Factory 183 turret, as well as our reproduction of the pressed
(stamped) wheels with their rubber tires perforated at the edges
along the outside walls. The perforated tires were used to
dissipate heat.
