1/144 Soviet T-44/85 & T-44/100 Medium Tanks - CGD

1/144 Soviet T-44/85 & T-44/100 Medium Tanks - CGD

The T-44 was designed as a successor to the T-34 tank series. Development began in 1943 and production started in 1945. Fewer than 2000 vehicles were produced.

The T-44/85 carries the same gun as the T34/85 but with a bigger turret derived from the T34/85 turret.

The T-44/100 carried a 100mm gun to counter heavy armoured German heavy tanks. It had a bigger turret derived from the T34/85 turret. This version only reached prototype staged. A new turret was designed for better performance and the new design eventually entered service as T-54,

The development of the T-44 contributed to the development of its successor T-54, which was one of the most produced tank in history.
