Worth remembering in the early days of the Great Patriotic War a lot of the T34s were put together on a concrete base without a roof or walls after the Tank factory's were moved the other side of the Urals in very short order.
The calculation of the life of a tank in battle even today does not exceed 15 minutes.
There was no talk of any conveniences inside, in principle!
They built from what could be found in the country, many metal structures from unfinished factories were sent for remelting.
You won't believe it, but the design thought during the manufacture of armor, due to the lack of the necessary machines, decided to roll the armor on Blooming, i.e. on a rolling mill, and as it turned out, excellent armor was obtained!
There are so many modifications of the T-54 that you have to look for a specific model!
I once attended a T-34 competition in scale 1 and 35.....
You won't believe that not a single tank is the same!!!!
