KV-6 Behemoth (modelársky fake)

Recently, "pseudo-scientific works" about the Soviet KV-VI Behemoth super tanks have begun to circulate the web.


Some time ago, some bored modeler who had leftover KV-1 tank kits KV-2, The BT-5 and the BM-13-16 Katyusha rocket launcher built a model of a vehicle that never existed.


A breakdown of the kits used can also be found on the site.


It's hard to say whether he or someone else wrote the mumbo-jumbo that has been picked up by a number of sites.


One has to appreciate the efforts of the author, who also backed up his fabrications with a number of alleged publications by reputable authors. There is only one slight flaw - none of these books have ever been published and therefore are not worth seeking out Very Happy


Other "experts" have added drawings or photographs and are feeding this fiction (fake) by copying it to other websites.

A final attempt to support the "truthfulness" of the above concoctions is a "rare documentary photography".

Its author didn't even bother to find a photo of the chassis of tanks KV-1 or KV-2 and just in Photoshop extended a generation older tank the T-35 .

That trumped-up the model does not correspond to neither the chassis nor the types of and placement of the towers of the author as well fake photos do not.

So again - it's just fake (fake)..

This model can also be found as a paper model in 1:50 scale (Tyazhelyy tank breakthrough KV-6 "Begemot"). It's on my list of models I'd like to glue together over time.

Je to dobrá "fantasmagorie". Neumím si představit motor, který by to muselo mít a kam by ho asi tak dali. Ani by to nešlo "uřídit", pokud by se to vůbec rozjelo.

To je starý fake, to snáď takému bludu niekto veril ? Dal by som to do srandičiek, nie do faktografie.

Myslím, že podíl na tom má o World of Tanks.
Nechal bych to tu z jednoho prostého důvodu - když to někdo bude hledat, máme návštěvnost a zároveň ho můžeme přesměrovat na reálné kusy - proto jsou tam ty linky.

a neměla by se pro to založit nějaká sci-fi sekce, právě aby se to nemíchalo s faktografií a nasypat tam všemožné "fake" témy typu tohohle tanku, F-19 stealth apod.?

Vážení,
vraťme se k výše uvedenému tankovému pábi-telení. Z hlediska technického nejde ani tak o výkon pohonné jednotky. V tomto případě se jedná o přílišnou délku styku pásů s vozovkou.


Stručně řečeno, takto dlouhý tank není schopen zatočit! Všichni konstruktéři vědí, že čím je kratší pásový podvozek, tím lépe se manévruje. Nejlepším důkazem je švédský Stridsvagn 103.

Som za sci-fi, resp. "fake" sekciu. Aj tak by na tieto témy natrafili cez vyhľadávač, nešiel by priamo cez sov-tanky a pod. Mohlo by to byť subfórum ako napr. "identifikácia" v tankoch, resp. čo to presunúť do zmienenej sekcie. Prihodil by som tam klasické fotomontáže Pz.IV s Tiger turm, dvojkanónový Panther, hybrid Maresal/Pz.III a pod.

Pane kolego, je jasné, že tento tank bude používán pouze jedním směrem - na západ. Zatáčet bude pouze tehdy, když dorazí k moři, kde ho rozmontují a sestaví znova s čumákem novým směrem, nebo když náhodou najde železniční točnu.
