Lok’n 4 info on ZSU-57/2

[tanksami]

Hi Guys,
I am looking for pictures / drawings of the interior, specifically the lower hull / drivers compartment as I am hoping to do a damaged vehicle, I was going to try using some interior part from a miniart T-54- 1949 if they work or can be made to be close??
Cheers
Mike

Although there are loads of pictures of the fighting compartment ones of the driver's appear to not exist.
You probably could get away with a T-54 set up as a "close enough" but Wikipedeia does make mention of some changes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZSU-57-2

Overview
Based on past experiences with SPAAG designs, Soviet engineers designed a vehicle that used a modified T-54 chassis, with four twin road wheels per side instead of five, and much thinner armour. The vehicle was armed with twin 57 mm S-68 autocannon in a new, large, rotating, open-topped turret. The ZSU-57-2 consists of three compartments: driver's in the front, fighting in the middle and engine-transmission at the rear. The hull is more spacious in comparison with the T-54 because of the thinner armour and has different locations for some equipment. The general layout, with transverse mounting of the engine, is the same.[3][15]

Driver's compartment
The driver's compartment is located on the left hand side of the front of the hull. The driver's seat is moved forward and to the left in comparison with its location in the T-54.[1] The compartment is equipped with a single-piece hatch cover opening to the left and two periscopic vision devices. One of them can be replaced by the TVN-1 infrared vision device which is operated together with the infrared headlamp (active night vision), which is mounted on the right track board. A fire-fighting equipment signal panel and a spare parts case are also located in the driver's compartment.[15]

If you position the driver's seat to the hatch opening of the ZSU-57 hull you should be good.
