Once upon a time in the West... a project for a French super-heavy tank. But France was defeated by Germany and the project remained on paper. Its name was FCM F1 and it is now available in our store... "What if" this project was implemented in metal, even a small test series. And these tanks in finished or not quite finished form had ended up in the Wehrmacht's arsenal? This is our version of what the initial minimal changes would be: - a fan and a hatch in the left part of the roof have been added to the small turret - the only hatch in the rear wall is too small for the 4 crew members who have to enter/exit through it. - the main turret also has an additional fan and the roof of the commander's cupola has been cut out and replaced with a hatch for better observation of the battlefield. - because the whole tank barely fits in the Bernese gauges, also in order to reduce the total weight and make transportation easier - the main turret would have to be dismantled for transportation. To do this, lifting hooks were added. - the equipment is supplemented with German pioneer tools + spare wheels. The changes are minimal because according to our history these tanks were brought into an acceptable form in a hurry to participate in the Kursk operation, let's say in one unit together with Dr. Porsche's tanks where due to the similar drive their maintenance will be easier.
