This is the Soviet SMK Heavy Tank prototype built from the Ostmodels 1/72 scale resin kit. It is an unconventional design which actually saw combat against the Finns in 1939. The utility of carrying multiple turrets on the same chassis is limited, but it was a design trend explored by several countries during the 1930s. In the end even the Soviets decided a single turret design with increased protection was a better use of the weight and produced the KV-1 series.

I have always loved multi-turret tanks. Like big stompy robots, they make no sense IRL but are too cool looking not to enjoy! |
