I've got the Mirage T-26T, which is some type of artillery tractor based on the T-26 chassis. I don't really care if the kit is accurate, but I would like to know just what this thing would pull. I have the Italeri/Zvezda ZIS-3 M-42 76mm gun. Would this gun be pulled by the tractor? If not, any suggestions as to what may have been pulled by the tractor.

The only info I've been able to glean was that the only fully armoured transporter version of the T-26 tank to enter service was the T-26T which was used by 76.2mm divisional gun units.

That's good since the ZIS-3 is listed as a 76.2mm anti tank gun.

Rob--I would guess that the ZIS-3 M-42 would be fine or the ICM 76.2 infantry gun would also work. I wouldn't use the ICM 45mm because that was typically pulled by the Komsomlyets and anything above 76.2mm would probably too heavy.
