Description
BRITISH A39 TORTOISE HEAVY ASSAULT
TANK
In late WWII, the UK developed
a huge monster that weighed as much as 79 tons�??the A39 Tortoise Heavy Assault Tank. It was designed to strike German solid fortifications. It was designed with a fixed fighting
compartment and extremely thick armor. The heavy hull was supported by a torsion
bar suspension system. Its incredibly powerful 94mm gun could fire at any ground
target. The tank also had an additional fully rotatable turret to strengthen
firepower, while a 7.92mm MG in the front was used to shoot at enemyinfantry. As the
tank was still in its trial stages when the project was terminated following the
end of war, there were only 6 vehicles produced.
KIT INFO
The 1:35 scale plastic model of the British A39 Tortoise
Heavy Assault Tank is 293mm in total length and 111mm in width. Its huge general
shape is accurately reproduced, and the large area of casting texture and weld
seam details of the fighting compartment greatly increase sense of reality. The
94mm long barrel gun can turn like in the real tank and the solid gun mantlet is
accurately reproduced. The travel lock can lock the gun like a real one. The MG
in the front ball mount can rotate freely. All hatches can be assembled open or
closed. Complicated wheels and staggered torsion bar suspension system are
perfectly modeled.
