The Lebedenko Tank 1:72 is a resin kit of the Russian experimental wheeled armored machine of the First World War, intended for experienced modelers.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin kit of one of the most bizarre vehicles in the history of technology, in 1:72 scale. The box holds resin castings completed by photo-etched and metal parts. The build is meant for experienced modelers, partly because of the material and partly because of the shape of the subject, which is dominated by two enormous wheels with thin spokes. The result, however, is impossible to overlook in a display case, because it resembles nothing else.
The machine designed by the engineer Nikolai Lebedenko was built in 1915 as an attempt at a breakthrough vehicle able to cross trenches. The design grew out of an oversized gun carriage: two front wheels around nine meters in diameter, a smaller support roller at the rear and, between them, a truss structure with the fighting compartment. Each front wheel was driven by an engine of its own. The trials showed that the rear roller sank into soft ground, the machine became stuck and the project ended with the single prototype, which stayed at the test site until it was scrapped in the 1920s.
Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water, cut the casting blocks off with a saw and protect your breathing when sanding. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). The geometry is what matters: both large wheels have to be upright and in line, otherwise the model stands crooked. Assemble it dry first, check it against a plumb line and glue it on a flat surface. After the primer, choose earthy shades rather than anything else and do not overdo the weathering, as the prototype was practically never used. Distinguish the wooden and steel parts by a satin and a matte surface.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a resin kit. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
