Tsar Tank Replica

This photo turned up on Quora yesterday - apparently taken at the T34 Museum near Moscow. Presumably it is not scale size! Does anyone have more information?

From the photograph it looks like it might be to scale, but I do not know for sure.

It looks approximately to scale. The wheels on my 1:25 cardmodel scale out at 8.75m diameter which looks about the same as the replica.

Nice to see the replica got the spoke pattern right - the spokes are radial not the crossover pattern found on bicycle wheels - there is an image of

the tank before it was broken up which shows this clearly. 

I wonder what possessed the museum to do this - it must have been a huge amount of work and materials. Although after the 1:1 scale polystyrene foam Saint-Chamond 

built by a French high school some years ago anything is possible.
