The Impractical Behemoth: US T28 Super Heavy Tank

It’s 11m long or so. Quite imposing, and the inside is rather spacious!

The Collection has the T29(105mm gun), T30 (155mm gun), the T34 (120mm gun), and the T30E3 w/ the coincidence rangefinder ears (boxes). Imagine 250+ tons of hardware all parked next to that 90+ ton T28!


A friend and I celebrating a reunion last weekend.

Fun fact: the T29 and T34 had dual coax weapons. The T30 did not! Look over. My gray haired head!

PS- where is the museum on LI?

Wow great picture Ted! That’s a lot of steel!

The museum is in Old Bethpage, Nassau County. It’s called the Museum of American Armor. They have over 50 pieces of armor. Most are runners I think. They have a website as well. Great place!

Here’s a bigger hint. It wasn’t Tamiya. They sent a guy to do research last year.

Must be Takom. This is just their kind of thing. They’ve done the other US heavies, why not the T-28? I’ll bet they get it right, too. I better offload my Dragon kit.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Or maybe be Tiger Model….nah

I used T and 4 characters. I’d heard Takom while leaning over the Dragon kit. I could be off by a grid square, but as Matt says, they’ve done the heavies. There’s a fan base already, so why not.
