This item is limited to 3 per household.

-This is a guide to the new 1/72 Rebeden Cozzari Tank full resin kit from Cola Models of the Czech Republic.
-The Tsar Tank is a tank that was developed during World War I in Imperial Russia with a unique concept.
-This vehicle was not a track of the present tank, but a tank that was shaped like a huge tricycle with two spoke wheels with a diameter of 9 m as front wheels and 1.5 m rear wheels for steering.
-The steel body of 8m in height supported by these three wheels is equipped with four turrets, one on the top and bottom of the center part and one on the left and right sides, so that the turrets above and below the center part are sandwiched. The huge front wheels were driven through the gears by the engines placed on the left and right.
-Giant wheels were thought to get over obstacles, but when testing the Tsar Tank completed in 1915, it was feared that if one of the wheels was damaged or distorted by the impact, it would not be able to go straight. Not only that, but it turned out that it wasn't strong enough to get out of there because it got stuck on a weak ground or groove due to excessive weight.
-In addition, it was said that the rear wheels could get caught in trenches, making it a weapon that is not suitable for use on rough terrain or breaking through trenches.
-Etched parts are included in the kit.
