Its unusual four track chassis was designed to reduce ground pressure and improve mobility on soft terrain such as snow and marshland.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe tank also reflected Cold War concerns about nuclear warfare, with a rounded hull shape intended to deflect blast effects. Only one prototype was completed, making Object 279 one of the most recognisable and unusual armoured vehicles ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuild using plastic cement and suitable modelling tools.
