Ah, the KV-VI! This tank highlights one of the downsides of the internet - its great for information, always provided the original infoprmation is in fact correct. If not, then it gets repeated from one website to another :)
I mention this because it seems this tank is a myth. There's a debunking article here - http://blog.tankpedia.org/2013/11/30/the-soviet-kv-vi-behemoth/
I did a Google search for this and can't find any website mentioning this beast that actually has any reference to a non internet source of evidence for it.
I've always regarded the Tsar Tank as a thing of beauty. A much-maligned device! When are you scratchbuilding one?
ReplyDeleteIf I build one in 54 mm I'll send it to you...)
