MSC POLL - Su-76I Conversion Set from Serzh

[TRM]

Hello MSC,

I have set up this simple poll for Serzh in an effort help him find the number of people who are interested in purchasing his conversion set for the Su-76I.  This will give him an approximations of how many kits to make prior to the sale.



This is a cast resin conversion kit for the Su-76I.  This set can be used to convert the popular Dragon Models and Zvezda kits.  

The Price of the kit is not known at this moment; however, Serzh is confident the cost will be that of similar products available now.


This conversion kit will be offered through Serzh on Ebay in the future.  This of course, is the best means of trade between people from different countries and/or regions.  


If you are interested in this conversion, please click the appropriate "Interested" box above in the poll.  If you are not interested, you do not need to vote....the system only allows a poll when there are two questions in it.


In addition....please post your comments regarding your thoughts on whether this set should include a metal barrel replacement or cast resin replacement.

I have wanted one since I first saw it! Personally, I've already got a metal barrel, but it would be nice to have one included in the set, rather than a resin one.

[thechaos]

Very cool conversion and i m interesstet in it.

[dierk]

Only 2 votes? Really? Come on gents, let's support the great work Serzh has done!

[afvfan]

I'm interested, with a small reservation in committing. I'm operating on a fixed income, so budgetary restrictions apply. I can't say yes, or no, without a ballpark price - since I buy very little resin stuff, "close to similar products" doesn't begin to answer the question. I'd also prefer a metal barrel over the resin one (warping being the main concern).

There's no doubt that Ebay has the largest audience, but as long as Paypal is used you get the exact same buyer and seller protections. All Serzh needs to do is send a Paypal invoice to the buyer. This would save the 10% final value fees Ebay charges. If these are sold through the forums, that could translate to more money in the pocket, or a chance to offer it 10% cheaper than Ebay. Just thought I'd mention it.

Poll wasn't open very long.

I want one.

[jsteinman]

Has this been test fitted to the newer tooled DML StuG's and Pz III smart kits?  I saw that you fitted it to the Tamiya Pz III L kit.

[sturmbird]

I couldn't make the vote thing work fellas. Please add one more vote from this hapless individual that ain't quit computer literate!! Then somebody tell me how to buy it and of course how much is the ball & chain.

Gary - hi!

For modelers not from Russia, it is only one way - ebay. This will be done in the coming days.

At the same time will be declared the final price. It is not in my competence.

Apologies for the long process, but I repeat - does this one person...

[S e r z h]

Has this been test fitted to the newer tooled DML StuG's and Pz III smart kits?

Hey. No, did not. Only fitting on an empty enclosure. 





Sets DML expensive.

Therefore, originally built for the conversion outdated sets DML series (1996) and Zvezda.

Tamiya - the will of the case. I was surprised that the dimensions no different

I might be interested to obtain one as well. Would be a cool build that isn't found everywhere like tigers and Sherman's. Something different would be cool. As long as it came with clear instructions.

Serzh has posted a detailed thread on how to build the model using his conversion. The set itself comes with an A4 page of photo's showing the construction stages. And should you have a problem after all, you'll find plenty of support here. My set has recently arrived, and it is a thing of beauty! I'd say: go for it!

[S e r z h]

Hello. With the sale to ebay is a big problem 

But there is a Russian online store that works with other countries.

i-modelist.ru/



Methods of payment The price of sending - it tells the store manager.

[martslay]

Soon this set can be bought in my Magmodelist.com shop. The limited edition will come. I can reserve. Payment of PayPal. Shipping to any country. The price is 25 euro/30$. The cost of delivery is 6 euro/7$. We shipping all parcels as a gift. It will allow to avoid excess expenses. I am a guarantee of implementation of obligations.

[TRM]

Good news Serzh! Thanks for posting the updated link!

Thank you as well Martin! God to know other locations where this kit can be purchased.


I do know HardTarget carries the MasterClub line. Might be worth an email to see if they might have them available at sometime here in the US.

They aren't on hardtargetmodels....

Todd - i hope with time everything will be so, as with other conversions or additions sets from Russia 
The first steps - always difficult

And I would recommend to use for the base not Stug C/D, and later version - E or F
This is closer to 1943 than earlier versions

NOW you tell me I already bought the Ausf C/D based on your earlier recommendation. Then again, I'm also not prepared to pay the kind of money demanded for an Ausf E/F, so mine will be built using the Ausf C/D kit.

[TRM]

I think you will be fine Dierk! My take on the SU-76i is that there were hundreds of Pz. III based vehicles captured...only two remain in existence. They were most likely not all the same type. It is more than plausible, if you ask me, that there would be alternate variants! I might be doing this on purpose when I build mine...LOL!!

[dierk]

That was pretty much my thought-process too, Todd. Besides, I need the C/D casemate for another project - waste not want not

[TRM]

LOL...good planning!! I was after the turret for use in some demos! Nice to have spares!

[S e r z h]

Dierk - do not worry  

also looks good on the C/D. This I wrote for, if there is a choice - it's better later... E & F

Is that one of your steel rim wheels Serzh?

What PE set would you suggest for the fuel tank straps?

Es


What PE set would you suggest for the fuel tank straps?


I made them from plastic strips, elongated piece of plastic over the fire and bolts (nuts) MasterClub
plastic strip was 1.5 x 0.25...  Altered 1 x 0.1

[TRM]

Thanks Serzh! Well played! I will remember this when the time comes to add the straps!

Very bad news my friends.
In the beginning of December S e r z h has passed away after a long illness. Rest in peace my friend.

[Tobi]

Thank you for taking the time and let us know, Neo.

He was a very gifted modeler and will surely be missed here at the forum.

  Man that is indeed terrible news Neo. He came back early last year when I reached out to him and after that I couldn't reach him. Thank you for letting all of us here know what happened to him. A truly gifted modeler in every aspect and he's going to be missed here.

My condolences to his family and friends
