Tank T-50 (1941)

The T-50 was a light infantry tank built by the Soviet Union at the beginning of World War II. The design for this vehicle had some advanced features, but was complicated and expensive, and only a short production run of 69 tanks was completed. Even before it was ready for mass-production wartime experience invalidated the underlying concept of light tanks. I built this model for fun. Entire model is created in SolidWorks 2013 and rendered in Keyshot 5. It took me about 160 hours including studying pictures and blueprints. Some of the parts are movable (turret, gun mantel, toolbox, ventilation shutters, tracks not). The model is not without technical mistakes... i have still to learn. Scale is as usual 1:1. I hope you like it. References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-50_tank http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/galleries/T-50/T_50_img.htm
