Lol, my mistake, I just assumed it would have tight tracks like a Sherman or Stuart.

Sorry!!!

Gamera - thanks for your kind compliments and comments. From the photos of real tank posted above by subfixer, I see that the tracks did sag, they're not "really tight" as you thought. About the number of crew I also thought it should be 3 because that's the minimum requirement for most tanks - a driver, a gunner and a commander.

subfixer - thanks for your images!  It's small enough to be in my house, where can I get one? ;-)

These photos will give you an idea on how small the M-22 actually is.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Nice work there, my complements to Art Instructor. I think this is the first Locust I've seen actually built. And I've got one of the FineMolds Type 95 but haven't seen the Dragon kit built either. Great job on the camo and the mud and dirt. Only thing I might point out is that most if not all US tanks the tracks were kept really tight with little or no sag, but I'm nitpicking- great job otherwise.

I looked it up- both tanks had three man crews.

garzonh - No tank however small is one man tank. Any of these two can easliy crush your VW.

Bruce - thanks for your info.

garzonh - I checked and found that both tanks weighed only 7.4 tons each. The Kraz-214B is a monster truck. 7.4 tons is so light for it to carry.

"- Heavy trucks Ku~azu KrAZ214 is the track that was produced from 1959 through 1967.

Load capacity is towing capacity could also tow tank of 50 tons loaded on special trailers at seven tons.

Made many special applications such as tanker trucks and shovel cars using the chassis.

Has been used in many countries are also exported to countries east.

Number of total production was made more than 30 000.

How heavy were they?

Could actually a truck like this be able to carry them?

They could be flight lifted by a C-47, after removing the turrent. Used by Army Airborne.
