Yes, it's a T-34 tank, just not a Soviet T-34. Instead, I present the experimental T-34 heavy tank tested by the US Army right after World War II. While it was never adopted, it did continue the progress to the post-war heavy tank that actually entered service, the M-103. The kit is by Cromwell Models with aftermarket decals to represent how the tank could have looked if it entered service. The backdrop for the pictures is my newly re-modeled HO-scale railroad that has been under construction from July to October.
And finally, the T-34 in ambush position, waiting for Ivan to stick his head out.

On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

That looks great Chuck as indeed does the scenery for your model railway - I could imagine doing some wargaming on there as well!

Good job

Just seen this. Never heard of an American T34 before. Nice work
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
