| 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. |
