I'd hate to have to repair a thrown center track! The hull is just screming for someone to attach a hover unit which might look very cool for a sci-fi tank.

Thought it was an sf or similar type – turns out the thing was real.

Yep, it was designed to be "Atomic Blast Resistant".

Also knnwn as the Troya Tank. Needs a female crew, AA KVPT and post-apok baggage. I HAVE to get this!!

Yeah, you'd need a lot of sugar in your tea after track bashing that beast!

Looks like a maintenance nightmare …

Nice to see they have finally made a model of this!

Sir.. the inner bogie of the second track on the left side has fallen off we have to stop for repairs.

Fatman06 Aug 2013 5:17 p.m. PST

I often wonder what the guys who design these things were smoking

Fatman

And where I can get some

@Fatman: no kidding!

@Etranger:

As far as I know, its the only one (oh blaablaa, ofc there is few divisions of these inside ural in some storagebunkers, but hey, officially) built.

Excellent reason to hate Khrutshev for terminating this project…

I still found that as my all-time favourite AFV, and when that kit hits the stores, I shall get it. Now we only need some full-NBC pact troops in 1:35.

That beast is a sure fire way to get tankers to transfer to the infantry.
