Getting pretty closed to finally calling my build of Miniart's ZIS-2 anti-tanki gun done and so, now that I have based-coated the piece, I'd like to know if anyone can tell me what may have been the color of the gun sight. Can I assume that Soviet artillery sights were mostly black as some on German artillery? I've looked at several places online for pics but only found restored guns without their sights installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

ZiS-2 AT gun Model 1941 has PP-2 gun sight.
ZiS-2 AT gun Model 1943 (MiniArt model) has PP1-2 gun sight. But I consider, most parts of those two gun sights were the same. Thus, see the images of PP-2 (year 1935 made !):







Note: the axis of eyepiece (with large rubber ring) on these images is turned on 90 degrees to axis of lower tube. The normal position of eyepiece axis is coincides with direction of axis of lower tube:

OUTSTANDING, Eduard!!! Man, this is just what I needed! Very interesting pics, for sure!

Thanks very much!
