Mor Caxac-My Sasha

With his loves name, My Sasha, for inspiration, Dimitri Balakin leads his T34/85 tank into battle against the Motherlands invaders.

His confidence in his tank is well founded as the T34/85 was a solid medium tank that could well hold it's self against late war Axis medium tanks.

With over 55,000 built, T34/85's were used in overwhelming numbers in the latter years of the World War Two. Their armor of up to 80mm (3.25 inches), good speed of 38 km/h (26 mph) and a powerful 85mm (3.35 inch) gun combined to make the T34/85's a powerful addition to the Soviet Military. 

T34/85's were used well beyond the Second World War, they were especially feared by the United Nations troops in the early days of the Korean War. Some T34/85's were still in various reserve military units as late as the 1990's.

My Sasha is a plastic piece from Warlord Games, that I put together and painted this week.
