Actually there were a lot of T-34 with 76mm guns left on end of WW2, those mostly got scrapped or turned to support vehicles.

That’s why i’ve said we need a metallurgist :P Still, was is bending the material multidimensionally or just single way? I’m curious, cause with that shape of the turret(i think nixxxie meant that all side and roof are single piece), you’re bound to end up with a lot of compression and stretching in different areas of the shape if you ask me. And again, were talking tech from almost 70 years ago.

I have seen brake presses that can bend 6″ thick steel, it’s not that big of a trick. A lot of people mistake steel fabrication for stamping.

Nope, model 1942 had either cast or welded(very few) turrets. Sorry but Russians being practical at technology wouldn’t venture into something as outrageously complicated as stamping heavily armoured turret(at the time). Stamping works best with softer metals and isn’t very cost effective if the metal sheet the detail is being stamped from is too thick. And to be honest stamping an element of such shape would violate the integrity of the metal, but to properly explain that we need a metallurgist.

Also, calling additional fuel tanks(boxes at the back, trust me, i’ve got modeller plans of this t-34 model) radio isn’t helping your credibility

It’s rare because with 80% of the T-34 production line lost in combat. Any T-34 that isn’t a T-34-85 from the last couple of years is usually either sunk in a marsh or blown to bits.
