Designed by the Technical Research Bureau of Armored Arms in the late 1930s, it promised to be one of the most forward-thinking armored vehicles of its class before WWII cut its development short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat made the 14TP interesting was its evolution from American innovator J. Walter Christie's suspension concepts. By ditching the convertible drive mechanisms of earlier designs, Polish engineers saved critical weight, allowing designers to bolster armor thickness up to 35–50mm without sacrificing agility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts intended firepower was equally impressive, slated to mount either a 37mm high-velocity gun or an upgraded 47mm anti-tank gun, paired with a powerful 300–400 hp Maybach engine giving a top speed around 50 km\/h. A single chassis was near completion in 1939, but the German invasion forced engineers to destroy the prototype to prevent capture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis product contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5x resin and metal 14TP Tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aetherworks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600056549546,"sku":"BFPBX16","price":90.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8682\/files\/BFPBX16.jpg?v=1791444345","url":"https:\/\/www.gapgames.com.au\/products\/flames-of-war-polish-14tp-tank-platoon-pre-order","provider":"Gap Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
