Each turret rotates, has elevating barrel, and printed yellow star emblem of the USSR. The smaller turret represents the T-34/76C model from 1942 with 76.2mm barrel.

Tank is made from stiff olive-green color ABS plastic, measures 3.25 wide x 3.1 inches tall x 6.5 long (9 including long barrel) and is approximately 1:40 scale. The T-34 was first deployed in WW2 when the Soviet Union was part of the Allied war effort against Germany and Japan, but later was used against the former Allies during the Cold War era in a wide range of conflicts by many different countries aligned with the Soviet Union, including by North Korea during the Korean War. These tanks were initially offered to hobby collectors by Classic Toy Soldiers Company around 1999. Classic Toy Soldiers Co. worked with BMC Toys to make them available to today's youngsters.
