nice one, however for a soviet design you picked a british tank?

Not British but French.
A Renault FT-17.
The Soviet Red Army captured fourteen Renaults from White Russian forces, and rebuilt them at the Krasnoye Sormovo Factory in 1920. The Soviets claimed to have originally manufactured these Russkiy Reno tanks, but they actually produced only one exact copy, named 'Freedom Fighter Comrade Lenin'.
Thank you for the look!

The Renault did indeed appear on the battlefield.
In fact it was used in every continent except Antarctica.
It saw service in WWI, WWII and the lat operational use was in Afghanistan in the 1980's, as stationary security bunkers.

Hope to see more of this stamp in other works corners )
btw do you know what Tankograd means? It it relevant to the things I think, I wonder)

My understanding is that the name referred to a huge tank producing facility in Chelyabinsk. I thought it a good name for graphic treatments of Armored Vehicles. Thanks for the look around.

Not at all! Itβs my pleasure to look around your gallery.
And yes! You are absolutely right! That stands for Chelyabinsk, unofficial nick name of it. Glad you knew that. I agree on your graphic stamp choice in the matter of Armour.
