Developed for infantry support and breakthrough operations, the T-28 served with the Red Army during the Winter War and the early fighting of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistorical references: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/worldoftanks.com\/en\/news\/history\/chieftains-hatch-t-28\/\"\u003eThe Chieftain’s T-28 history\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.panzernet.net\/tankist\/en\/tanky\/t28.php\"\u003eTankist’s T-28 technical history\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and Bodywork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe T-28 was manufactured at the Kirov works in Leningrad, with a long tracked chassis supporting a raised central fighting compartment and a rear engine compartment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis model uses a cylindrical main turret with a surrounding frame aerial. Such aerials are associated with radio-equipped T-28s; the exact radio set and production year of this model are not established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe driver occupied the forward centre of the hull between the two small turrets; the main turret stood behind and above them, separating the principal fighting positions from the rear power compartment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe driver’s hinged front plate and opening roof section provided access to his position. Main-turret roof hatches served the turret crew; hatch arrangements changed during production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-size historical vehicle specifications, not miniature measurements: the petrol-fuelled, liquid-cooled Mikulin M-17 V12 displaced approximately 46.9 litres. Published ratings vary from about 450 hp in service to 500 hp maximum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission: a mechanical gearbox provided five forward speeds and one reverse, with the power unit and transmission installed in the rear hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrivetrain and suspension: tracked running gear used multiple small road wheels carried in spring-supported bogies, providing a long ground-contact length beneath the hull.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel and range: the M-17 used petrol, not diesel. A commonly quoted family-level road range is approximately 220 km (140 miles); fuel capacity and practical range are not confirmed for this exact model configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMobility: published road-speed figures vary with version and conditions, commonly around 37–43.5 km\/h (23–27 mph). These are historical family-level figures, not a guaranteed performance rating for every T-28.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions and mass: representative unmodified T-28 figures are approximately 7.44 m long × 2.87 m wide × 2.82 m high (24 ft 5 in × 9 ft 5 in × 9 ft 3 in), at roughly 28 metric tonnes (31 US short tons). Turret and armour changes affected these figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCapacity \u0026amp; Utility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe historical six-man crew comprised a commander, driver, main-gun gunner, loader and two forward machine-gunners. Their separate stations supported the tank’s multi-turret fire arrangement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction T-28s carried a 76.2 mm main gun, initially the KT-28 and later the longer L-10. Re-equipment overlapped production changes, so the exact gun fitted to this model is not assigned from its name alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two forward turrets carried 7.62 mm DT machine guns; additional DT mounts varied by production configuration. A commonly quoted early-family ammunition load is 70 main-gun rounds and about 8,000 machine-gun rounds, not a verified load for each later version.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frame aerial represents radio equipment used for command and coordination. The precise set, internal layout and stowage of this model are not confirmed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWartime Legacy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe T-28 family was series-produced at the Leningrad Kirov works from 1933 to 1940. Total output is commonly given as 503 tanks, with some sources reporting other totals; that number covers the family, not this particular turret or rack configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-28s took part in the Soviet invasion of Poland, the Winter War against Finland and the fighting following the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Captured examples also served with Finland; the type illustrates both the firepower ambitions and mechanical complexity of interwar multi-turret tank design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade to order.
