Just finishing a 1/48 Tamiya T34-85.
Most WW2 Russian T34 did not have radios. The kit has an antenna mount on the turret.
Should I add an antenna, remove the mount, or just leave it alone?
BTW - This is my first Russian armor model.

Beautifully built T-34 you have there!
Yes, T-34s had radios, but initially, they were scarce, so only company commanders’ tanks received them, while others used signal flags.
Radios became standard issue later in the war, especially with the T-34-85 model, though some tanks still lacked them due to supply issues or doctrine..
So with that being said, I believe this kit depicts a late war T-34 so adding an antenna would be proper.
Happy Modeling,
Mike
