Hi again

Next step that`s rebuilt and correct gun manlet and all arround.I tried to do texture .Upper bonnet (cover) i scratched .Just for fun new guns for 1-25 scale from Paszkowski.

Now few words about new products by Paszkowski. There are corrected diameters for SU 100 gun. To T34 and SU 85 guns made by hand based on specification.We compare new diameter with Rubio guns diameter after rescaled.

Hi Piter,

That's a superb conversion. I have the same kit but will build it as SU-100. I'm looking for suitable reference photographs for a winter camo scheme. I wish to build the model to look as though it's been in a few scrapes, a little battle damage but not enough to put it out of action. Can you suggest an appropriate theatre of operation?

Nick.

Nick It`s a lot of Su 100 pics in net ,but I `ve bought new book from here.There are some winter camo pics but better is a little damageSU 100 at Tiegarten Park.Su 100 has white line for Allies indentification.On the second plane stays T34 with white line too.
On page 47 is SU 100 of 2 nd Belorrussian front ,from Gdansk area( my city) just little scraped and white wash.

I would like to built early Su 85 too.For this vehicle i plane camo from 13 PAS (polish 13 Independent Armoured Artillery Regiment) too.
Soon i will have resin parts for conversion like gun manlet ,commander cupola, wheels.
