Introduction
Scale Pursuit Models would like to thank
you for purchasing our T-34C Turbo
Mentor kit and congratulates you for
selecting one of the most durable and
best looking scale models in the
industry. We know you will be proud of
your model when you finish and it will
likely be the best looking scale model at
your field. We are committed to
ensuring that your building and flying
experience with our products are
satisfying and rewarding for you.
You will find a CD in this kit that
contains a .pdf file of this manual in
case your hardcopy is not available.
Also on the CD are hundreds of photos
of the full-size T-34C, the Navy’s T-34C
flight guidelines, the scale drawings that
were used to create your T-34C model
and other documents.
Your T-34C kit is assembled like no
other model you’ve ever built. Because
of that fact, we created this manual to
provide you with step-by-step, visual
perspectives along with clear, written
directions. Please read through the
entire manual before you begin. As you
can see, most of the page space is
taken up by pictures. Even though the
techniques used to assemble the model
may be new to you they are relatively
straight forward for a scale project. If at
any point you are unsure of how to
perform a task, please contact our
