Hello Christophe,
Jadar-Model/Armo #35511 "Cast turret - T-34/76 Model 1941 with L-11 gun". This is the original T-34 cast turret (I don't think there were any actual
production 1940 models w/ cast turret). It has the early (short) 76.2mm gun, early style mantlet, etc.
The turret has nice interior detail, very good gun breech, alum. barrel(w/ p/e rifling), miscellaneous p/e detail parts. Upper portion of turret is cast as single piece, w/ separate base. Join line appears to match original. Armo also has a series of T-34 Model 1940/41 detail sets (pre-dating Dragon kit). This includes a neat upper hull, w/ all engine deck hatches operable (no interior detail though, except drivers hatch mechanism). They also have a very nice engine and transmission set (this is available in both early and late versions). The Armo resin is well done -- very, very few pinholes in anything I've seen from them.

Hope this helps,

Paul Gibson
