Very nice! Great to see the stowage being rounded out like this. The radios are a lovely touch, they'll be great for forward observers...

I've never seen a picture of any T-34 variant carrying spare wheels , has any body ? Missing wheels , yes , spares , no . Panther wheel sets , YES ! There are pictures from the early war of them carrying a spare drive sprocket and sometimes a transmission :o . Also if the spare road wheels "were" carried they would be bolted together in a pair like you see on the modern day Russian mine clearing vehicles

I don't recall seeing any photos of this either, but I have seen several photos showing mismatched road wheels on T-34s. But the stowage set only gives you one of each. This is something we can sorta do anyway with RM's regular T-34/76 and T-34/85 kits - carefully cut out and mismatch some of the road wheels.

I have seen several wartime photos of Sovyets with a musical instrument, wouldn't that be a nice kit with a piano, accordeon etc.

Looks great! :D
probably too late for changes, but an unditching beam would be good - and an item seen on many Soviet tank pictures.
I know you've said it's being sent for mould making. Does that mean release soon, or latter part of 2021?

Love the look of this set!

Very useful stuff, not so sure about the crates under tarpaulins.
Unditching beams are easily made using plastic rod or dowels. Apply the blade of a razor saw along the length to create some more noticeable grain..

Tasty.

Something we have forgotten to update you on the forum... this is from late April.
