| NOTES |
1The prototype's lower turret was fixed due
to a manufacturing error during production.
2The engine designed for use in the TG was
not completed in time for the evaluation. For the prototype, an M-6 engine was substituted
although it did not properly fit in the engine compartment of the TG. |
