Wim van der LuijtThat is one mean looking gun! Your seats look good compared to the real thing....

Alexander GrivonevThanks a lot, guys!
Yeah, that's a real beast. This is what i like about this gun, its brute appearance
@Wim: I did not like the kit seats at all. I found several walkarounds of this gun and all had differtent types of seats, one of the walkarounds was very detailed so i decided to make my own seats from soda can metal sheet, brass tubing and plastic sheet

Frank KrauseHi Alexander, are you going to build a tractor for it? If yes, which one have you planned?

Alexander Grivonev@ Frank: I have the Voroshilovets from Trumpeter in my stash, the hottest candidate for the job i guess😉 Since i am very pleased with the result here the chances are high my next 1:35th will be the tractor for it.
Thanks again to all of You, i'm glad You liked it!

TreehuggerAh, I used to think this was a self propelled (self moving) artillery piece, but now I understand the tracks there is just for show, or getting around better when towed I guess. 🙂

Alexander GrivonevWow, can't believe this is from 2013, time flies so fast. Olivier, sadly did not get around to finish the Voroshilovets, box is still around collecting dust. Thaks for the reminder though! I actually started making a little diorama base for the gun and wanted finally to make better pictures.
Treehugger, I don't think the Soviets made anything for show...except for the 57 Megaton Tsar Bomb maybe...but yeah I guess the tracks were for better mobility
