My $0.02 on the wooden desktop T-34's
I see that this thread is old, but I wanted to add some things.
I had noticed that when I was in Wings last that there were two obviously different T-34C's on display. When I asked the owner about the differences, he informed me that the T-34 that appeared to be more accurate and more detailed no longer produces it (which is the one I wanted). He still offers a T-34C desktop model and can have it personalized with your solo markings in a 1 day turn around. However, In comparing the Squadron Model's and the one that he is selling now, you can see a noticable difference in things, such as the detailed antennas, and to me the tail does not look right. I'm nit-picky on things, but if you are not, you can have your T-34 the next day at Wings.
If you are hanging around Whiting, Copper 'Possum Antiques offers what appears to be the Squadron Toys version on the T-34, and you can get one personalized up for about the same price as the Wings one with a Squadron base. You end up saving $50 off the Squadron website's $245 quote and 3 month turn-around time on it.
