Voroshilovets heavy howitzer - 1/25 - model design and build
Hello,
I finished my last projects and it is time to start new one. I saw beautiful models on model exhibition in Warsaw January this year. It were Voroshilovets artillery prime mover with the B4 howitzer. That time I promised myself to design and build these models from paper in 1/25 scale. As you know already Modelik released a few weeks ago B4 howitzer. But so far the artillery mover for this howitzer is missing. So, it is something for me.  I see that most challenging parts will be suspension, roof and radiator because of complexity and shape. As a baseline for this project I'll use drawings published in Russian magazine M-hobby 04-2011. I started to design this tractor a few days ago and I have a few first drawings ready. I started from wheels and suspension. After several hours I made complete suspension.     Next components should be simple and next drawings I should present in next days. Regards, Michal

Great start with the running gear - if you wanted to do a tank the T-24 tank used the same running gear.
The resin Voroshilovets is a good looking model but seriously expensive. There's a nearly complete one at AMMS Brisbane. Regards, Charlie

Seems to be I finished lower part of the tractor. Suspension with all wheels, body with all covers, rivets, hooks and other details are ready:
     To really finalize the lower part I'm going to add tracks now. Regards, Michal
