Brilliant!
There were two designs of the T-43. made by competing Factories No.37 and No.185.
This is the other prototype prepared by Factory No.37:
Anyway nice to meet you leccy. Stage is yours, well done.

First time I tried to answer one after following this thread for a couple of years.
Possibly too easy, be gentle
Is it Russian? or American…?
The suspension looks like the BT-2’s…

…but the rear looks more like the T-28’s…

I’m confused…
Hi, guys.
Looks like soviet medium tank T-29.
T-28 on Christie’s suspension.

I think you’re right my friend!
Didn’t Christie’s design use a “dead track” that is a track that is not under tension, and uses no support rollers (the small wheels above the road wheels)
I don’t think that using support rollers would make Christie’s design less effective.
Could be, but did any of his actual designs use support rollers, or is the pictured vehicle a derivative of Christie’s design. I’m just curious is all.
Me too, I’m very interested in that tank.
Your right it is a T29 I was wondering if you could get the particular model
Maybe a little more help the one I posted is the bottom one.
Think, it should be the T-29-4.
According the the Czech and Russian sites (all hail google translater) the model I posted was the later T29-5 distinguished by the frame aerial being mounted at the rear around the engine decks as opposed to on the turret as in the T29-4.
My info may be a little wrong as I have relied on a translater and my understanding of the results from 2 sites.
The T-29 was a development on the T28 with Christie running gear with the intention of it replacing the T28. It could run on tracks or road wheels like the original Christie designs. It lost the contest to the T34 though and only 4 prototypes were built.
The T29-5 was the closest to being the final model and was heavier than the T29-4.
No known examples survive and the fate of the four prototypes is not known (suggestions and rumours they were used as targets or lost in combat with the German forces)
Hi,
Dunno all websites but accordig to the russian books it’s T-29-4.
In my opinion one of the best possible sources: Отечественные бронированные машины 1905-1941, Moskva 2002, please read pages 136-137. Don’t need to know russian to check it

Either are close enough for war work so the honour heads your way Damazy.
I am still wondering about the slack tracks and top rollers on the different models though. Should never have gotten rid of all my reference books. No need to search loads of references and trust online translaters then.
New stuff for you, guys :

Its one of the T20 prototype tanks from the US, I believe the T23 version with electric drive.
Hi,
Actually, it is first pilot model medium tank T22, but it’s close enough for me to say: well done.
Your turn leccy, my friend.

Go for a wheeled one this time.
looks like French armoured car Berliet VUDB
