Nice and quick build !!
I always wondered why the Soviets used a tank to convert it into a tank destroyer as a tank's first purpose is to destroy enemy tanks.

Nice little thing and build!
The details of the kit looks great... perhaps I also should build some Ace-kits. (the quality looks good and the objects are unique)

Olivier, I think, that tanks can destroy all types of subjects... but a "tank-destroyer" (with a rocket/missile) can destroy effectively only metallic objects. (I think so)
This is caused by the warhead of the missile... in contrast to the different types of (main-gun) ammo used on tanks.

greetings...

My understanding is that the 3M7 Drakon missile was a HEAT warhead...it would work on anything that would set off the fuze.
