That Tsar tank would be a challenge!

Excellent! Rock and roll man!
Man you can store a lot of junk on that thing, probably carry a hole platoon of gear.

It only has a crew of 4. Since this will be facing a Japanese enemy some special defense issues have to be addressed. Japanese anti tank doctrine constituted swarm/suicidal attacks with satchel charges to destroy or disable the tank and then to attempt to get at the crew. On Iwo Jima and Okinawa improvised types of armor and other deterrents were devised to prevent this; such as wood planking, wire mesh cages, and even sharpened metal spikes/nails welded to hatches and horizontal surfaces.
Since this tank didn't make it to operational status we don't know what kind of tie down arrangement would have been added to the tank surface. I will try to come up with some kind of bustle for crew equipment.
If only someone could make you a cool paint mask for a chess piece.
If only I knew somebody? That would be cool. If they were about 3/8 tall.
:hmmm
