The tank was also developed into various other designs, including the AKB-44 and AKB-45 self-propelled artillery, KV-43 assault gun, KV-45 tank destroyer, and LKV-43 AA vehicle.

Indeed I do, it's one of my favourite designs (apart from the unreliability). But this one is based on the Cromwell and Type 4 Chi-To.

Cool design, It's looks like a bigger, stronger and more powerful version of the BT-7

Thanks! I based it mostly on the Cromwell and Type 4 Chi-To.

No problem! oh, I didn't know that it was based on the two tanks you've mentioned, when i saw this pic the long and narrow profile of the tank and its suspension design just make me think of a BT-7 and its Christie suspension!

The Cromwell also uses the Christie suspension, and also has that exhaust "box" on the back. The turret is almost the same design as the Chi-To [link]
