Review of T-34/76 Mod. 1942 “Formochka” kit 6487 :

6487, Dragon, formochka, T34, T76,Formochka

This tank has always been a popular variant of the T-34 due to its unique turret shape, and now DML has released a modified version of their Model 1942 “Gayka” kit with this turret. The name “Formochka” puzzles me, for it is not used by any contemporary Russian source nor any modern Russian historian, but only as a slang term (also used for “vacuform” as well) on Russian modelers’ websites. This is not the first time DML has done this, and while not as dim as the use of German names or designators for Soviet tanks it is still unfortunate.
