Excellent work. I'd be interested to see one alongside a Pendraken T34. I'm guessing they're about twice as long (which isn't surprising, seeing as they had an 11-man crew!).
Not quite. The T-34 is surprisingly big! All that sloped armour means you need a bigger tank to get everything fitted in...

Thanks chaps. So a bit longer than a Königstiger, then. Still, I shouldn't have liked to be going toe-to-toe with of those in a Panzer III or 38(t)! I've just done some Googling and was surprised to learn its maximum armour was 30mm. I was expecting Char B1 bis or Matilda A12 levels of protection. Presumably this was to keep weight down?

It was very difficult to steer, as it was too narrow for the length, among its other faults.

I wonder what the stats are for these in BKC, out of interest?

  Troops                            Arm         Move    AT            AP      CA          Hits   Save     Cost

Heavy Tank Unit (T-35)     ARM    15    3/50     3/80      4       4      6            100       #7 R

 Note 7. Heavy Tank Unit (T-35)                            
Can fire at targets in a 90° arc to the rear instead of firing to the front    

You could add the 45mm turret as an option and allow them to fire separately

Small 45 mm Turret                                   2/50             1/60   

Not bad for an early war tanks - if they do not break down
