I was a bit concerned about the tracks as I have had experience with other companies straight resin tracks. You have to heat a segment and curl it around things like a drive sprocket. On some of the others I have tried the resin had a bit of a memory and would at least partially spring back. Apparently not an issue with this company as this review of their Panther tracks shows: link Here is a review of the companies T-100 tank kit:

Expensive, certainly. The quality of resin work from this company is first rate though, especially the tracks. And hey, you only need one! And unlike most prototypes/one-offs, this one saw combat.
The Finns captured it during the Winter War. |

It wasn't really captured. It just couldn't be recovered for two months. There was no way the Finns could have moved it. |

I've never seen a three-turret version of the SMK. Just a design study? I'm sure they never built a prototype. |

From what I've found, the prototype had 2 turrets, and it was the only one. Indeed, it was sitting on Finnish territory for a couple of months and later recovered by 6 T-28. The tank was scrapped in 1950s on Kirov's plant, even that it was supposed to be shipped to Kubinka museum. |

Sorry to hear it didn't make it to the museum. It would have made a good addition and it was quite rare … |
