Trumpeter 09580 1/35 Object 450 Medium Tank

Object 450 was attempt to design or at least look at how tank will look like in future by Morozov, a T-64 designer. He wrote about his concept of new tank, which he called NST-74, Object 450 and T-74, in hisdiary:

This vehicle was proposed in early 1970s in Kharkov design bureau, as NST-74 (“New Medium Tank – 74”). It turned to be more a concept than a real design that Soviet industry would be able to build in 1970s. T-74 concept from 1972 was found to be not very good, while 1973 concept had several key improvements over 1972 concept – better gunner position (and later it was futher improved in 1974), gun mount, ammo storage, FCS principles, crew placement. New tank was to be created tosurpass new Leopard and XM-801.
