SU-100 - 1:25, my project

[mrafalsk]

Hello,
Here are some pictures of my SU-100 self-propelled gun what I build in parallel with SU-85M (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/armory/33195-su-85m-self-propelled-gun-scratch-build-1-25-a.html#post489084). This model is also build from scratch in 1/25. Because almost all Russian tanks are green I was thinking to build model painted differently. After research I found a few pictures of SU-100 in Egyptian army service from 1973.

After assembling and painting I got the following model:

One of the pictures shows abandon/destroyed Egyptian SU-100 on the side of the road.

I decided to build small diorama. On the end I got the following:

To build this model I used resign elements like wheels, tracks, head lamps, tank’s horn and towing cable available in Panzer Hobby Art shop (Panzer Hobby Art -1-25 scale armor models and accessories. (http://shop.1-25saf.com)). This model is waiting in a queue to be released, most probably in 1Q2016. More pictures from building you can find here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mrafalsk/library/SU-100?sort=2&page=1

I hope you like my SU-100.

Great looking model. I like your diorama setting.


I had an opportunity to be inside one of those beasts captured by the Israeli army.


Here my brother and I next to one back in 1968.
