I recently purchased this little fella off of eBay, it was described as "SVV4" which would be a T-34/85. I'm not sure if the turret looks the same as the one on the Pendraken website for SVV4. Any ideas if this is a 34/85 or perhaps a different variant (or a previous sculpt)?

Not a T34/85 Streetgang, Looking at the catalouge entry for SVV4 the turret shape is wrong and gun barrel too short for an 85mm gun.

Looks like you have a T34/76 there.

Defo a T-34/76, the M1941 or M1942 model with 76mmL41 gun, suitable for Barbarossa onwards.

Thanks Gents! Bummer, planned to use it for my Korean War Chinese. The North Koreans had some T-34/76 and perhaps the Vietnamese but unfortunately not the Chinese (despite what some video games apparently claim).

Looks primitive.  What scale?  Any idea of the manufacturer?

I suspect this is an original Pendraken T-34/76 - I have quite a few of these in my Soviet forces.  Basically this would be an M1941 or similar. Obviously the newer ones are nicer.

Thanks for the ID! I managed to order a proper T-34/85 to rectify the problem!
