We've just expanded our 15mm What-If WWII range with another actual Soviet vehicle, which was deployed in small numbers against the Japanese in the closing days of WWII, with a further three vehicles fighting against the Germans as a test basis. It's the T-44, which looks like what happens when a T-34 and a T-55 love each other very, very much. About 2,000 were made, and they joined the Soviet units occupying Germany, being involved in the Soviet suppression of Hungary in 1956, for instance.
While we wait to get the castings, we are pre-releasing them in platoon sets of three at a reduced price:

It's funny to think that the hull we are all so familiar with on the T-54/T-55 was initially designed for this vehicle. As an interesting side note, this is the vehicle that was converted for film purposes into a cosmetic Tiger for such films as
Downfall.
