I'm currently working on the T26E5, a late test variant of the M26 Pershing. However, it's not proceeding particularly quickly. However, I have plenty of other things in the works right now, but I'm taking a break to show you my latest fictional monstrosity: Object 901-2.
Those who have watched some of my BitChute videos from late last year may recall seeing this thing before. However, I made one slight change to it since, which was replacing the 122mm A-19 hull gun with a 152,4mm M-10 howitzer. This turned the tank from a glorified tank destroyer into a mighty assault vehicle, capable of blasting through enemy fortifications while picking off tanks that are desperately trying to stop it.
For those who don't remember (or don't care to watch Vlog № 1), Object 901-2 is a modification I made to my model of Nikolai Shashmurin's KV-4 project, Object 901, which upgraded both main weapons and replaced the ball-mounted bow machine gun with a turret.
With this last change, the short-range howitzer can make short work of bunkers, while the machine gun turret can sweep the entire front of the vehicle, neutralising any counterattack mounted from a trench. I had considered adding a flamethrower as well, mounted underneath the bow, but I thought that was a bit much. Besides, a flamethrower could always be mounted in the machine gun turret.
These last three images show what would happen if three Panther prototypes attacked Object 901-2 while it was attacking a static position with its hull-mounted howitzer:
I'm still not ready to add this to my Shapeways shop, and in any event, I don't want to go crazy making models at the moment, because the delivery date for my new 3D printer is approaching fast, and I've already wasted enough time with side projects. Blah blah blah, I really know how to write a run-on sentence... why does English have such a problem with those, when Russian doesn't?
Shameless self-promotion:
