Now that’s a beautiful thing!!! Between it and the Meng Tortoise that’s some of the coolest modeling news in sometime. I’ll certainly be picking up one of each of those, though I’ll probably wait a year or two till I can get them on a sale.

I can just see a cool WW’46-47 diorama with them!

Nothing like having a massive beast like this get its due in styrene!

It’s a nice kit and long overdue in plastic, but it looks like they have an error on the suspension.

The real T28’s HVSS suspension was not the same as the shermans. The T28 HVSS bogie didn’t have the top shock absorber like the sherman. Instead the suspension swing arms connected to large columns that were bolted in between the bogies. These columns were on both sides of the tank (they emerged from the Hull and from the side skirts) Besides aiding in the suspension These columns would interlock and would give structural support for the side hull / skirts.

I have the accurate armour kit, and this detail was done by them. Also when I was working on my 1/6th scale model I found lots of resources about the modified HVSS suspension.

Hopefully this CAD image is just a quick sneak peek and the actual kit release will have this fixed. Either way I will get one, Maybe they will do the Troyanov next??
