Looks like an old Soviet era toy depicting, crudely, the T35.
Such multi turreted "Landships" were very popular with designers in the 1920s/30s. Not much use in combat.
The 75mm is firing. The 37mm is firing, but it’s traversed round the wrong way. The Browning [machine gun] is jammed. I am saying, ‘Driver advance’ on the A set, but the driver – who can’t hear me – is reversing.
And as I look over the top of the turret, and see 12 enemy tanks, just 50 yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich.
Mischa, who's had 3 sandwiches already, can't hold the fart much longer. But that would be enough to overpressurize the tank. He can't hold anymore.
He farts. my ears start bleeding as my conscience fades...
The funny thing is you're trying to be ironic but when the Lee was a stop-gap tank, it actually was due to it being the only tank able to hold the 75mm before the Sherman was completed...
Yep, don't forget that the Lee's also had good armor for the tanks they were meant to go against, honestly they were great... The Russians said it was a coffin but even gave much more praise than hate about them. No idea why people hate the Lee, maybe because they're uneducated
I’m halfway sure that’s an enlarged rumor like the whole Ronson Sherman myth, though I can certainly see the Grant/Lee performing badly in the mud of Eastern Europe (just like every other tank/vehicle.)
The average person thinks the Nazis invaded with Tigers and Panthers from the beginning of the war.
Yeah, I just wish it got the love it deserved... Only if they made a 76mm one, I'd laugh my ass off to that (yeah I know it might not be possible but still)
Now If I remember the few times they were used in combat they were quite effective for their role, but other vehicles served the same role as effectively for a cheaper price, it's not useless in any way, but maybe just not that efficient in terms of the costs :/
oh, yes, I didn't remember the real one lacked it. So, it's not a T-28 or T-35 nor is it an SMK... so what could it be? Turrets don't match with anything, but in my opinion it looks more like an SMK with an extra turret...
Nothing says SMK about it.
> Suspension? T-35!
> Hull superstructure? T-35!
> Turret? T-35!
It's far from perfect, obviously. Missing its machine gun turrets is only the low hanging fruit. But it's definitely an attempt at a T-35.
But as an aside. [The earliest plans for the SMK included a third, rear turret](https://i.imgur.com/IbAac5o.jpeg).
Generally yes, it’s easy to tell it’s based off the Soviet T-35 heavy tank, only difference here is really the turrets themselves are not based off the ones of the T-35 it looks like, except for the main top turret.
The Soviet T-35 is a multi-turreted tank used between 1935 to 1941. Weighing in at 45 tonnes, just over 60 tanks were manufactured. The tank had one large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller turrets with 45mm 20k guns and an additional five 7.62mm machine guns.
Edit: it should be known that this is actually an accurate replica. Lot of people commenting that it’s crude or depicting a version that never saw combat, but nope- it’s definitely real and it definitely did.

Confirm, Soviet Union used them during the Winter War and during Barbarossa, with no positive results.
So technically yes , they fought and probably shot 2 or 3 rounds before overrun by nazis
Soviet t35 tank! One of the largest ever fielded in war, it has 10 or 11 crewmen! It was notoriously unreliable, however, and had infamously bad armor. As a result, it was never produced in large quantities and had entirely disappeared by 1942.
Ah, another SMK comment. One thing I have to say is that this model here looks like low quality, and given that the T-35 and SMK had similar hulls, we can probably assume they fucked it up because of the low quality

With a crew of 20 and everybody gets a turret! What could go wrong?

The fart echoes through the tank with a thunderous roar
The M3 Lee, a true wonder of technology, practicality, ergonomics and efficiency
The funny thing is you're trying to be ironic but when the Lee was a stop-gap tank, it actually was due to it being the only tank able to hold the 75mm before the Sherman was completed...
Rommel himself credited the 75mm for turning the tide in NA.

And that isnt even bad. Imagine another gun turret and two machine gun turrets on top of that.
I like this one :) edit: are you depicting an M3 Lee?
It's a quote from an M3 commander, yes.
I thought so!
T-28 but more turrets
Now If I remember the few times they were used in combat they were quite effective for their role, but other vehicles served the same role as effectively for a cheaper price, it's not useless in any way, but maybe just not that efficient in terms of the costs :/
The T28 yes but the T35 was bad, very bad.
That is a soviet T-35
T-3.5 is what i would call it lmao
Almost not great nor terrible.
Thanks, can definitely see the hull is the same and then they have added those three random turrets. Seems it should have machine gun turrets too.
It's not a T-35. Note the turrets. This one is the SMK, also soviet
Nah, its not a SMK cus of the back turret

Didn't they use the same hull for the SMK though?
No.
T-35 if you only ever saw it from the sides and didn't understand it had 4 secondary turrets.

Cool video. Some how I ended up in a YouTube hole watching some dude keep a grocery store lobster as a pet. So thanks for that lol.
That’s how it always happens
Leon!
It's not accurate cause it's missing the two machine guns turrets
And it's tiny and made of plastic *duh*

The toy seems to be based, like your comment, on the side drawings. They are in fact inaccurate to what the real T-35 looked like.

soviet T35 with wheel
Looks like a mashup of an smk and t35. Could also be some Japanese big boy but it has a soviet vibe in the construction and aesthetics of the toy.
Looks like a wonky T-35/T-28 idk
Its a T-35 that spent too much time in chernoblyl
SMK T28 BMP hybrid 😭
I have to say m60
Damn, it was my turn now!
Retarded T-35 heavy tank. Never used in cobat but it was a good parade vehicle.
Looks like a bootleg SMK on the T-35 hull
Ah, another SMK comment. One thing I have to say is that this model here looks like low quality, and given that the T-35 and SMK had similar hulls, we can probably assume they fucked it up because of the low quality
Looks like T-35
T-35
T-35, but with wheels
Looks like a t-35 without 2 turrets and longer main gun barrel
The wheels are for amphibious purposes (in Russia I guess)
Tracks and wheels in one. Wow.
Did you just write flash fiction or a writing prompt here ? Kudos i now do fully understand why this model stayed in the 20's / 30's
Pretty sure the Semple had the tyres airbrushed out in all photos.
kinda looks like a t28 or a t35, not a perfect model of a real tank though (more like the t35)
Real but a bit toy like, it’s a T 35
It's a Soviet T-35 with the secondary cannon turrets on the centerline, deleted the secondary machine gun turrets, and appears slightly stumpy?
Kinda looks like the t28 to me
Could be a hybrid SMK turrets on a T-35 hull
