Hello comrades, Good day! I managed to rip open some of my stash and here is what i have come up so far. It is the T-55 conversion to become and S-75 Dvina TEL. It is a Cuban modification for their old T-55 chassis. Makes me love the 55/62 chassis more as they are very useful for conversions. I have managed to saw off the front and rear fenders already and these will be replaced with a shorter and edged one (unlike the curved ones from the T-55). Also, the main superstructure of the S-75 launcher is dryfitted already together with the main missile. More work to come for me as I still need to cover the turret basket with a circular plate which will become the missile launcher base. I will also need to cover the engine deck to protect it from the rocket blast. winches and racks will also be installed on the rear and for the latter, on the lefthand fenders. Im excited to see this project so i decided to dry fit the hull and the mail launcher to see the whole image. Real Deal: Scale model More work in scratchbuilding is more fun! cheers! Iking

uh... oh.... thats what I call a heavy armament! Dont get too close, Mr. Kennedy. Out of interest: Can you say something about the balance point of the tank? I mean if the rocket is stuffed with tons of equipment the tank surely is a bit top-heavy, is it?!"

Very cool! Definitely not something you see very often and has that ungainly/deadly look to it for sure.

WHOAH! Is that a commercially available conversion, or all scratched Iking? Looking at it I'd say its the Trumpeter SAM 2 EL and missile kit married up to the hull. P
