SG-122 M2U (Pz III + new tower & Soviet 122 mm gun "U-11"

[S e r z h]

Made new boxes and put them in place

Converting the base into a detail PZ 3


   

[S e r z h]

I decided that the PZ 3 style was good, but the standard side hatch was bad.
To add handicraft, i made patches. This is a little illogical, but more spectacular.



   

[S e r z h]

Locks for hatches. Everything is of the T-34 type, bribed by the ease of installation.

test

Received 3 photos from a person who is engaged in casting.
Hopefully the hardest part of the job is over. Now i'm going to take up the weapon...

Hi. test build, 2 in 1 guns, 85 & 122 mm
Built and painted this model Ivan Bulochnik

[S e r z h]

I finished my version of this model. Differences only on the roof of the tower.

Not soon to paint, there is time to think about the presence of a muzzle brake.

1st WELCOME BACK!!!

This is a beautiful build, thanks for updating the thread.

Are you still 3D printing? Interested to hear about your experiences with printing model parts.

And there's Serzh! GREAT to have you back buddy!! I love the way you're putting this one together and am very much looking forward to the painting process.

chromdome35 - I do not have a printer, i order printing from those who do it professionally...

406 Silverado - thanks, but it will not be so fast, probably in the fall (((

Part 2 - there were a lot of welds

New project "What if". The documents mention that it was proposed to equip the SG-122 turret
with lighter weapons. Zis-3 (2).

It seemed boring to me, since weapon armor is not much different



I took as a basis, a test version of the su-76 with 85 mm weapons.

>>> warspot.ru/12623-lyogkie-sau-s-bolshimi-pushkami

Did not want to printed - i made it from plastic. Wheel as the basis of the round part






Rag roof option

Excellent work as always!

[406 Silverado]

If this isn't attention to detail then I don't know what is. Truly remarkable work going on in this thread Serzh!! How are you doing those welds?

Hi! I don't quite understand the question, but I'll try to answer.
It is too early to saturate this model with welding. But not very much at all (((
Vision becomes worse, during the formation of the seam, I tint the relief with liquid paint (it is then easily washed off).

Hey man! I am very glad that you are still here. I consider you one of too modelers out there and I always enjoy following your builds. I have so much to catch up that I have missed during my absence.

Keep up with the GREAT work and thank you for keep posting!

[S e r z h]

Hi! again " what if "
I will not create a new topic, since there is no confidence in the embodiment of this idea in plastic.

But perhaps I will share, maybe someone will like it. Soviet version of the captured Prague corps and 45 mm guns from KhTZ-16

[deafpanzer]

It will be pretty cool if somebody can build that. I am not that good to go that far this moment!

[stikpusher]

The casemate portion looks pretty simple to build, being so boxlike. As long as the height measurements are known. The tricky part is the gun mantlet area with all of the curves and angles.
