With the request and high vote from ’s request page, this time, I created a Russian folding T-34-85 tank that was renowned in World War II.

T-34-85 Tank request ➪
This tank was the main Russian tank of the time when Germany created the Tigger tank to fight against it during World War II.
When designing this, I planned to use the structure of the folding Tigger tank I made earlier. However, since the T-34-85 tank is smaller in size than the previously created Tigger tank, the structure of the folding Tigger tank cannot be used and the new structure is applied. (It always seems like that.)
The structure of two wheels on one wheel axle was also difficult to fit in a small size. Making the caterpillar to engage the wheels of the rear wheel structure was to create a new caterpillar that was completely different from the one used for the foldable Tigger tank previously.
The folding process is as follows.
1. Fit the front and bottom parts of the body.
2. Insert the part with wheels on the left side to the left side of the body.
3. Insert the part with wheels on the right side to the right side of the body.
4. Connect the tracks with a long one. Prepare two sets of this.
5. Put the prepared tracks on one of the wheels, align it with the concave groove of the rear wheel, and then insert and connect the beginning and end of the track. Connect the track on the other side in the same way.
6. Put the gun on the turret.
7. Attach the cartridge with adhesive.
The collection of foldable Tigger tanks and foldable T-34-85 tanks allows you to create famous battle scenes such as the Battle of Kursk and the Bagration Battle.
