Hi Finch, asking in a nice soft tone, did you look?
My trio of Dragon T-34-85’s were all terrible.
That’s unacceptable mold quality to me.
The first one I bought in 1997, the wheels were riddled with sink marks. I bought another thinking it was a fluke. It wasn’t. The third one had the same problem and so did the kits several of my friends purchased. It was a serial issue.
Remember, I made no claim or comments on accuracy or details, or fiddle bits so many get torqued about.
I addressed quality. If I want to, I can usually fix detail issues. Those wheels were just too much work to fix with Milliput, Molak Stucco or Super glue. Tried with all of them.
Covering that sort of sink hole mess in mud is just a cop out to me. I paid Dragon for a quality kit to build how I like. YMMV
Knowing which factory used which exhaust cover or whatever is pretty irrelevant to that sort of commentary.
The 1997 era mold quality is nice for what it is but it isn’t up today’s, again being up on all the fiddle bits isn’t critical to that observation.
That’s backed up with the wheel photos as shown above.
Every wheel between every set of spokes had the sink marks. 10 wheels × slots = ~120 sink marks.
I’ve seen one Premium Dragon T-34-85 kit without the wheel issue.
Definitely buyer beware product in my book based on my experience. I don’t recommend kits like this or sugar coat their faults and suggest other modelers buy them when I found the kit to be a disappointment due to quality issues.
Replaced the wheels on my Dragon T-34-85 with Chesapeake Model Design’s wheels and replaced the punch mark riddled tracks with Fruilmodel’s.
No sink marks on the wheels!
I think there’s a half dozen Dragon T-34/76’s in the stash and one Premium T-34-85.
The only bad issue I’m aware of with the 76 kits is the 1942 STZ T-34/76’s, Terry Ashley (Perth Military Modelling) & other had a serious fit issue with the rear hull rear plate IIRC. Cookie Swell said he didn’t have that issue. Terry built a couple and had the fit issue. One of (master level) friend built the kit and had the fit issue.
If unfiltered kit comments are of interest wades-world-reviews-various-afv has a joker 
that goes into some real diatribes.
Hope that helps & adds clarity to my previous comments.
Cheers
