U.S. T30/34 Heavy Tank by Brad Raulston

The T30 was the American response to heavy tank designs in the latter stages of WWII such as the German Tiger I, Tiger II, and Jadgtiger and the Russian IS-1 and IS-2. The T30 was designed at the same time as the T29 with basically the same chassis but bearing a 155mm gun versus the T-29's 105mm. T30 pilot models were started in April 1945 but weren't delivered until well after the war (1947.)

Brad built the Takom kit out-of-the box and finished it with MIG paints. He says it was an easy build; the indy link track assembly was simplified with the included jig...although the jig was a bit short which required some additional work.
