Soviet Tank Cruiser (танковый крейсер) 95% complete

Unlike the KV-6, this is a REAL proposal for a soviet tank.

This is a 4 quick day project I made while I make other models. I'm suffering in school and work right now so cant put much out or work on many 3D models right now.

Scale 1:100

In 1942, another project for tank was introduced in the USSR. Its designer was Osokine, who proposed this concept to other engineers. It is worth noting that his proposal aroused the interest of the Soviet leadership.

The weight of the machine was more modest, in comparison with the previous sample, 270 tons. Its frontal armor consisted of 125 millimeters, and about 100 on board. To protect the crew from poisonous substances, each member was supposed to have his own oxygen tank.

The tactics of application of Tank Cruiser were planned very diverse: it was supposed to contribute to the defeat fortification. strips, districts and nodes of enemy resistance, fight against various-caliber artillery, the destruction of enemy tanks and self-propelled guns, as well as its mechanized units. The final victorious fanfares in the fate of the Tank Cruiser, according to the designer, was to be: "accompanying the advanced detachments of the victorious Red Army in the march on the enemy capitals: Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Bucharest and further to the West - to liberated fascism-fouled peoples." Unfortunately or fortunately, the cruiser projects were rejected by GABTU. Documents have been dusting in the archives for a long time and have become available recently.

It had an armament of two 152mm howitzer within the main turret, five 76mm guns, four of which were located in the T-34 turret with the remaining being the 76mm Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun in central bay of chassis, two 23mm guns from the IL-2 used as Anti-Aircraft cannons mounted in a turret at the rear, and lastly fourteen 7.62mm Machine Guns with four in the T-34s turrets, one on the front of the central chassis, four split between two twin external mounts on the left and right central drive trains, and two on both the left and right of the drive trains hidden between the wheels and tracks near the center of the sides
