Engelsk produktnavn: Metal Time | Object 430, 64 parts | World of Tanks

Object 430 (World of Tanks). A prototype of this medium tank was developed from 1953 through 1957 to replace the T-54. Several prototypes were manufactured. Later, Soviet authorities wanted a tank with greater nuclear survivability and firepower. As a result, the project was discontinued in 1961, and the decision was made to develop the Object 432.

Models research and assembly advance technical creativity skills inspire science and technology history research. Our models do not require glue or adhesive. Each part snaps off the sheet, then firmly snaps together.

Prototype history - After summing up the results of World War II and analyzing the effectiveness of all types of armaments, the Soviet government thought about the need to modernize its fleet of armored vehicles. First, there was a need to replace the T-54 medium tank, which would correspond to modern realities. Hence, in 1953, a new tank project was initiated, generically named “Object 430”. Several modifications of the fighting vehicle were developed under this name, which later became a basis for the development of “T-64”. In “Object 430” the changes concerned the location and configuration of the engine and the whole engine-transmission compartment. The engine was located across the driving direction in the aft compartment, allowing to expand of inner space for the 4-person crew and ammunition. 

Features, benefits - Nevertheless, "Object 430" was a powerful fighting vehicle, in some parameters coming close to heavy tanks. The long-rifled main gun allowed for long-range target shooting. Powerful armor protected the crew and ammunition even from a direct hit of 120-mm guns. The tank could reach speeds of up to 55 km/h on a hard surface and overcome water obstacles to a depth of 5 meters (using underwater driving equipment). In the "Wargaming" popular MMO game "World of Tanks" "Object 430" is a powerful striking force, able to fight with all representatives of the Soviet military industry. High speed, powerful armor, main gun, and the possibility of modifications make this X-level tank an important element of the arsenal. With "Object 430", you can count on winning even in the most difficult tactical situations.
