The kit represents a T-34/85 that undertook a rebuild during the sixties.
The starfish roadwheels can't be used on a 1946 model, there are other things
not to be used on a 1946 tank like the external fuel pump box.
If you need an earlier T-34/85, better swap your kit against the 1944 model or
get the Shanghai Dragon Chinese volunteer kit which is basically identical to
the 1944 model but cheaper, I'd actually swap one with you but due to shipping
costs it wouldn't be cost effective (I live in UK).
As for "1946" production turret I think only maquette makes one, in their kit
or available separately but I'm not an expert on T34s. By the way 1946 might be
a misnomer as some tank were produced in WWII with this type of turret.
Cheers,
Christophe
