Another S-51 SPG
Another take on the WoT S-51 SPG. There are a number of ways the WoT model can be improved so I'll just document my changes to the model.
The model colour is grey - which doesn't seem right for WW2 Russian armour. I pulled the parts sheets out of the .pdf and did a colour change to green but retained the weathering. The model of the gun barrel is designed as stacked cylinders. I've never been impressed with this so rebuilt the barrel as a rollup design on a 4mm mandrel. The cradle part of the gun barrel is a cylinder so I just slotted the barrel into it. Some small changes - the elevation gearbox at the front of the recoil cylinder is represented by a single thickness of card - I gave it thickness and a drive axle. This gearbox alters the recoil distance as a function of the elevation so the gun breech doesn't strike the ground at high elevations. Regards, Charlie |

Excellent. The improvements look very good. The color looks great, I notice that I use the short barrel, the well, the gear box. Great job Charlie, greetings.
