The main gun on my Eastern-Express BT7 was more like a blob than a barrel. Wound up making my own and (if you don’t mind fixing a kit before you build it) overall it turned out just as good as the $50 plus Tamiya BT7 kit.The EE kit was ok other than that… but you just never know.
A lot of these kits are reboxes of other (and older) kits.
So - since you have the choice, you might want to do that T34 right the first time… it’s less frustrating when you can concentrate on building it instead of dealing with correcting issues of manufacture.
Personally (if you have the bling) I would recommend theTamiya 1/35 scale T-34/76 Medium Tank 1942…
Otherwise you could take your chances with the Zvezda kit.
