Dmitry Melnikov jimboid! This kit is easy to assemble and good in quality. The model can be assembled in one evening, but you can also finish some small details yourself!
James C Fabulous work and a great looking vehicle. Really nice work Dmitry

Jakub Krzysztofiak that's really nice bit of work. quite like idea with old zis

Dmitry Melnikov Thanks! I will continue to make rocket launchers, including using the ZIS-6 base. In the Soviet Union at the beginning of the war, large experiments were conducted with this type of weapon. There was a search for optimal placement for combat use. The result was the creation of a formidable and deadly weapon!

Olivier And very frightening by the howling noise it made.

Neuling Very good looking build! I like those old Eastern vehicles.
Helmut Fraundorfer Very cool man! I have seen this kind of howitzer before but never looked at it in such detail. I love everything that is a little oddball and this howitzer definitely goes along that line. The scratch work you did is amazing! I am very excitd to see all of that with paint over it. Great work!

Dmitry Melnikov Thanks! I'm interested in seeing the result myself))))
Dmitry Melnikov Added a new photo. I used parts of the artillery limder from Trumpeter kit 02307. Improvements were made to limber for the earlier version.
Rui S Looking good. I'm in. What are you using to do the rivets?
11. August, 21:35
Dmitry Melnikov Thank you mates! I cut out rivets from a sheet of plastic (thick 0.3, 0.5 or 0.7 mm). Punch and die homemade. I can get mugs with a diameter of 0.4 to 1.5 mm.

Rui S Thx Dmitry. Can you show your "Punch and die homemade" tools?
Do you use Evergreen stuff?
Dmitry Melnikov Three sets are involved in a project where I make all versions of this gun. 2 versions are ready. The third gun (mod.1902/30) of this project is still in the works))
Rui S Interesting piece it looks like something arranged by partisans
13. August, 02:10
Dmitry Melnikov No partisans!)) This gun was made in the besieged Leningrad and fought on the Leningrad front. The barrels of old tank guns from the T-26 and BT were used.
I added old photos)

Neuling Good work. I like the little rust effects on the brim of the protective shield.
Dmitry Melnikov Thank you mates! This is a very bad source kit! Many details of the design are missing, many are made incorrectly. I had to change most of the elements and add new ones) I want to build all variants of the 100 mm Skoda howitzer from IBG, but I can't decide yet. Putting these kits in order is not easy!
Treehugger I used to think these tractor vehicles looked goofy when I was a kid, but as an adult I saw them moving around in a youtube video and I think these vehicles look charming, especially the largest ones.

Dmitry Melnikov I agree, these trucks look strange and beautiful))) This is a product of the WWI tractor development! They had a very complex transmission and control, which negatively affected the Russian front, they got a lot from "General Moroz"!
Rui S I also like it. Well done weathering This machines could Pull anything on knee deep mud, but had also a problem with rocks, between the road wheels
Dmitry Melnikov Thanks! This old Tamiya kit is very good as a base. Many small details are missing, but all improvements can be made independently from plastic and wire. For a little money, you can get a good result!

Treehugger Photos could be a little sharper I think.
Dmitry Melnikov MiniArt 35115 - universal limder 52-R-353M Mod. 1942. It may have been used in rare cases after 1942 (I have not seen such photos). The main one for the 122 mm howitzer m1910/30 is the limder mod. 1911. This kit is 1/35 scale no one makes!

Eugene PanzerBabay Got it, sad news but it will be interesting to see your build from the scratch.
