Into the hands of a selection of drawings of paper models of tanks, which I share
Free drawings of the paper models of tanks can be link at end of article.
All drawings are provided with assembly instructions in Russian, so collect these tanks will not be a problem.
The archive drawings of tanks made of paper. There they were 6 pieces.
Let me tell you about them in detail.
The first is a drawing of the Soviet tank MC-1, if you read the history of tank, you probably know that this is the first tank which produced commercially in the USSR! Have such a collection a must!
Drawings Model German tank VK1602 «Leopard» provided with assembly instructions, however, as well as drawings and other tanks. With Leopard tank is connected very funny story, in spite of a long design, this tank was never embodied in the metal, its design started before the Second World War - the summer of 1938 has developed very rapidly, it was then that the German company MAN and Daimler-Benz began designing reconnaissance tank, the designation VK901. Formally, it was considered a development tank Pz.II, but in fact was a completely new design. The prototype of this tank was manufactured in 1939.
Paper model of an American tank T1 Cunningham in the mid-1920s, the American command has recognized the M1917 tank, standing on vooruzheniiarmii, obsolete and has developed terms of reference for the creation of an improved combat vehicle. In 1924, when a slip of the development of a medium tank became apparent leader of the development was sent to Rock Island Arsenal to help create light tank weighing not more than five tons. In collaboration with the engineers of the company Cunningham (known for its caterpillar tractors) and the military, as well as learn from the experience of foreign colleagues (primarily British - Medium Tank Mk.II), developers have come to the conclusion that the classical configuration of the tank is not ideal. After the merger of the American and foreign developments had created a prototype light tank T1. Tests showed chassis that require numerous changes in its design, "tractor past" made itself felt. The chassis was a high-tech and allowed to develop at highway speeds up to 29 km / h, which is a record of such machines.
Paper model of the Soviet self-propelled gun SU-26 diorama complete. Quite a lot of interesting cars on the basis of the T-26 was created in the army and in the industry during the Second World War, both in our country and abroad. Widely known self-propelled units, manufactured in the siege of Leningrad, though nformation about these machines is extremely stingy. Thus, in the documents of the 124th Tank Brigade, formed in Leningrad in September 1941, there is a record, dated October 15: "The team is a 37-mm cannon - 5, two of them on the chassis of the T-26».
Paper model of the German light tank Leichttraktor (Rheinmetall). After the end of World War I, Germany was "losing party", and the country had imposed strict conditions for surrender. Reichswehr underwent total reduction, losing almost 90% of heavy weapons, but the complete loss of combat capability is not reached. In 1919-21 years Germany was covered by the revolutionary actions, and to prevent the fall of the Weimar Republic, the Federal Commission of the victorious powers decided to accede to the request of Germany to build a small batch of armored vehicles, the total number of which is then brought to 150 tanks But the situation was much more difficult . After the suppression of the uprising in Berlin the German army was forced to destroy both its own production tanks A7V and captured British Mk.IV. Furthermore, allies ordered destroy prototypes heavy tanks K-Wagen («Kolossal»), as well as light LK-I and LK-II. But in spite of all the Germans managed to not only keep them received valuable engineering experience, but also to adopt some innovations in the former adversaries.
Paper model of heavy German tank Pz.Kpfw. Maus. Even before the beginning of World War II German intelligence services began to be kept informed about the Soviet miracle tanks having a truly exorbitant data. In turn, the Soviet foreign intelligence intercepted periodically these rumors. After the war began, and the meeting with the Germans by Soviet tanks KV, Wehrmacht commanders take these rumors seriously. This became a favorite of heavy tank "Maus" by Professor Porsche. The contract for its development was signed in 1942. Porsche had to build a tank weighing 160 tons, armed with two guns (150 and 105 mm), with the frontal armor thickness of 200 mm and a board - 180mm. The project is called "Mammoth» («Mammut»). However, in correspondence with the summer already figured the name "Mouse» («Mauschen»), which is the fall of 1942 was transformed into the well-known to us now - «Maus» .Ferdinand Porsche was responsible only for the development of a combat vehicle, to implement it in production was Albert Speer.
