The other artwork in the pile seemed to be from the 1970′s, so it’s a safe bet this design dates from then as well.

This is the hovercraft tank. In the mid-1930s, hovercraft were all the rage of the New Soviet Man. Vladimir Levkov, the father of the hovercraft, had developed the L-1 hovercraft in 1934. It is potentially the world’s first hovercraft. As the 1940s approached and war across Europe appeared more imminent, Levkov was keen on finding military applications for hovercraft.
