Oli could well be right there. It looks very odd doesn't it - a chassis that screams 'Pz. IV' and truck bodywork that screams 'Soviet'. Mind you, you can't see much detail of the suspension beyond the number of wheels, and it is quite likely that if we could we'd see a Voroshilovets
The drive sprocket is definitely Russian, seeing as it is placed at the rear and shaped very much like the typical KV-series drive sprockets. I think Oli has it.
You must have a better monitor than I (or just better glasses...) as I can't even make out enought detail to show which is the Drive Sprocket! I assumed that it was the front one, undernieth the engine, as that would make sense.
On the second picture you can see that the front wheel does not have any sprockets, while the rear one has the 'layered' look of a JS-series (not KV as I previoulsy stated, sorry) drive sprocket.
Not sure; It definitely has the tracks of the Voroshilovets, but its chassis and canopy looks more like that of the Soviet AT-T heavy artillery tractor, a cold war upgrade of the Voroshilovets circa 1950. Any idea when this picture was taken? I'm pretty sure its an AT-T, here are some stats on it http://www.pmulcahy.com/heavy_uv/russian_huv.htm Also I think it could pull around 38kph on road... And heres a pic of the AT-T for you to compare http://www.armyrecognition.com/Russe/ve ... iption.htm
AT-T: five large roadwheels T-44/ T-54 style. Voroshilovets: 8 small road wheels and noticeably two sets of pneumatic/ hydraulic pistons per side.
While the suspension is definately not that of an AT-T (I'm waiting for somebody to mis-spell it AT-AT! ), it also looks a little different to the Voroshilovets. It appears to have 3 sets of pneumatic/ hydraulic pistons per side... Maybe a prototype AT-T? Or a development of the Voroshilovets that was borrowed from when making the AT-T? Edit: Actually the AT-T cab looks very different
It has 4 return rollers right? I guess it's bassed upon a Komintern (4 return rollers) and not a Voroshilovets (5 return rollers)! http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/gall ... cles_2.htm http://www.morozov.com.ua/eng/body/trak ... story4.php Maybe a development model?
y'know, I looked at that, and thought 'nah, it's not that'. Now I'm not so sure. As a side note - doesn't Stalin look young!
Not as young as You Anyone have an new idea about that mover? I don't think it's a Komintern (4 return rollers) or a Voroshilovets (5 return rollers) becuase it's just too different (just look at the engine cover and it doesn't have vertical bars in the grill)
