Before I begin I should point out that the above title and most of what I will say is regarding the package rather than the kit itself. Dragon's T-34 tanks are certainly amongst the best detailed and most accurate information any scale and cover a wider range than other manufacturers. This boxing depicts an early production variant from 1940 and as such is interesting in itself as to my knowledge (not encyclopedic) no one other than Dragon has produced this variant. I understand that this kit is mostly accurate and the same would of course apply here. The box is labelled as being a 'super value pack' containing a bonus of Soviet gen2 weapons. This is entirely correct. This kit arrives in a rather flimsy, fully colour printed card box which already shows marks and creases from carriage. Not important you might say and perhaps not particularly but it nowhere near as resilient as older Dragon/ Value Pack boxings and I for one wouldn't trust it to protect a kit for a long time. On the back of the box are your painting options, two in the three colour camouflage as depicted on the box top and one in a standard 'Russian green'. Parts within the box are sealed into several bags each containing one or more sprues of parts. Some of the suspension arms appear to have a little flash on them but this is not a big issue. The 'bonus parts' literally consist of two small frets taken from a gen2 figure set and amount to a handful of small arms, magazines and steel helmets. The decal sheet is roughly the size of a postage stamp and only covers one of the three options. A piece of very fine twine is given to represent the tow cable. Perhaps I am being unfair but previous 'Orange Box value packs' have contained a set of figures, magic tracks or DS plastic tracks where relevant, upgraded parts from a smart kit where appropriate, on occasion a small etch fret etc compared to a handful of fairly insignificant small arms and nothing else. It smacks of economy rather than 'value ' I cannot particularly complain about the price I paid for this item and am happy enough with the basic kit but as other major retailers in the UK are listing this item for £39.99 I would strongly recommend that you look around rather than buying at the first opportunity. Recommended with the above provisos.Read full review
