general melchett Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Looks like a highly dangerous Penny-Farthing tricycle with guns....or should that be a Ruble-Kopek trekhkolesnyy velosiped. Now, a nice little steampunk diorama wouldn't go amiss... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 They made one of them. It worked about as well as it appeared that it should... Edit: If you want one, buy it now. From what I read they're only making 40 kits. There's one on eBay for US$100 plus shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Imagine taking a few rounds through those spokes. It'd bring your Assault Penny-Farthing (APF) to a rapid, noisy and probably very dangerous halt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think shooting your own wheels off would be a problem too I've always wondered if it would operate with the single wheel to the front.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Here's a link to the kit on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-72-Zebrano-New-Item-Cat-SEA031-Giant-Tsar-Tank-Lebedenko-super-lim-edition/401654620552?hash=item5d847b2188:g:sfcAAOSwxPpcBs1-:rk:1:pf:0 Thus far I have resisted.....If I hadn't just bought my tractor, it would already be mine! 6 minutes ago, SleeperService said: I've always wondered if it would operate with the single wheel to the front....

LN-KEH Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Cheaper than the resin kit from Kora Koras resin kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something like this...scaled down civilian version employed during a Melchett family outing. Sadly it wasn't a huge success, we'd forgotten to pack a pump...

Rob G Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 As an alternative, there's this http://www.homespunmagixx.com/TzarTank/tzar.html Slightly more affordable, and in any scale that you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Can you suggest a set of plans for the Lebedenko 'Tsar' Tank please? I feel a mad urge to build one in 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 First of all, it should be noted that the models presented in the photo are not mine, I just took a photo at the local model show. Most of the models in the photo (except A-380 & "German" tank) are made by Stanislav Korobkov. Who made the A-380 & "German" tank, I don't know. 15 hours ago, SleeperService said: Can you suggest a set of plans for the Lebedenko 'Tsar' Tank please? Something drawings on this link: https://novate.ru/blogs/300315/30642/ http://www.shovkunenko-book.ru/arsenal/tank-lebedenko.html http://xmoscow.narod.ru/tank.html http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/WWI/rusRover/2/ Very interesting differences in article about this tank in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank & https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Царь-танк from English version Wikipedia deleted conspirology theory: "Regarding the fate of the project Tsar-tank, there is also a conspiracy theory. According to it, it is assumed that the deliberately failed project of the machine was strenuously lobbied at the General Staff by high-ranking officials acting in the interests of Great Britain. The same ranks, in accordance with this version, “buried” the project of Porokhovshchikov’s “Rover”, the drawings of which later came to England and formed the basis of the first British tanks. The general similarity of the hull form of ATVs and Mk I tanks speaks in favor of this hypothesis. However, this version does not have any documentary evidence. [2], moreover, the schemes of the tracked propulsion Mk I and “Rover” are very different from each other." More conspirology here: http://www.dogswar.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=631 Other building models this tanks: - 1/1 https://gmorder.livejournal.com/8549833.html - 1/35 http://karopka.ru/community/user/9564/?MODEL=255498 - 1/43 http://forum.worldoftanks.ru/index.php?/topic/1768605-танк-лебеденко-нетопырьцарь-танк-масштаб-143/ - 1/72 http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28429&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 15 hours ago, SleeperService said: I feel a mad urge to build one in 1/48. It is not small in the 72nd scale, but on the 48th scale it will be horror! However, in 1/35 it will generally be a monster! As for my this tank not only technical oddity but also a great illustration of all the processes of decomposition, noneffectives and decay that took place in the Russian Empire before the 1917 revolution, because tsar allocated 210,000 rubles for the construction of this tank ..... the Colt machine gun cost 2,362 rubles ("Tula" machine guns costing half the price) https://topwar.ru/13549-postavki-pulemetov-v-armiyu-rossii-v-hode-pervoy-mirovoy-voyny.html ......so this tank ate 85 imported or 170 Russian machine guns which were sorely lacking on the Russian front of the I World War. The only positive effect of this tank was that it was made by students Stechkin and Mikulin ....... in the USSR both became academics, B.S.Stechkin https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Стечкин,_Борис_Сергеевич in the field of aerodynamics and A.A Mikulin https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Микулин,_Александр_Александрович in the field of aircraft engines.
