Sweet. It looks like the historical specimens are not in the best of environs to secure their long-term survival. On the other hand, getting close to take measurements should be a snap 😉 👍

It is troika actually-the gun, an one axle trailer(something like Sd.Anh.3, but domestic design) and the tractor 🙂
Thanks, Olly!

Wow, just excellent scratchbuilding Angel. The elevation wheels... did you make those?

Angel Yovtshev
Yep!
0,01 mm copper sheet(cut like cross to form the struts) and 0,6 mm copper wire( soldered on both ends to form the wheel, then pressed sideways in a vise). Both parts joined by soldering.
Thanks Alec K!
