1/72 Tank Grotte (T-22) by ARMO

I'm starting to build a new model. This is a very interesting early Soviet tank.
Resin model by Polish firm ARMO.

Here is my video review of this model

History reference

TG, “Tank Grote” or T-22 are an experimental Soviet medium tank created in 1931 under the leadership of German engineer-designer Edward Grote working at that time in the USSR. The tank was distinguished by the use of a large number of original solutions and innovative developments and seriously outpaced the overall level of the world tank building of that time. Due to the high price and the general inconsistency of the Soviet industry with the requirements of the production of the tank, the TG was not accepted for service and was not mass-produced. However, the experience gained in the design of the machine, allowed the Soviet designers subsequently proceed to the design of the T-35 tank.

Model

Firstly I found all the available photos, drawings and 3D of this tank. It is also available in the World of Tanks game.

I compared the all model parts with photos and drawings.

I saw that this model was made according to early drawing, like this:

But in the test-built tank was installed the different engine. This required a little change to the rear of the tank. These parts are clearly visible on this photo:

Also, the manufacturer slightly simplified the front and rear wheels.

And forgot about the front support track rollers.

These details are clearly visible on this 3D model.

All parts marked with red circles are done incorrectly. And part 1 is not made by ARMO.

I decided to start with part 4.

These photo show how this part should be (see №1).

So I sawed the part from the set to deepen it.
