Are you aware of Panzer Shop's resin offering?

Quite the beast! I believe the chassis is a U426 not a T-55.

It is quite a beast. You should see it on the move. I crewed one in Alaska last year. The power stages for the transmitter are pretty intimidating.
Tried to add an image through kitmaker. No go

Crewed one in Alaska? Details? Something to do with Eielson? Inquiring minds...

Yes at Eielson in RedFlag. Not sure what kind of details I can reveal though. I can say Russians must have been short. Unlike US vehicles, crew comfort is NOT a requirement.

So crew actually sat back in that "box" section (beneath the antenna) or were the indicators and such remotely located? Looks like there'd barely be enough room back there for all the power/transmitter equipment!

Look at the pics in this thread. Where the #s 067 is. This is the crew compartment entrance. (both sides) The door towards the back is the entrance for the power transmitter section. Yes the doors are low. Wear a billed cap and try to go out without caution. You will promptly land back inside on your butt, rubbing your head. Behind the power compartment is the turbine unit / exhaust door and the power entry panel. Note: The driver compartment comfort is a small heater and for A/C....a vent, or roll down the windows. There are no chairs in the crew compartment. There are folding chairs (stands) for that. Like "hunting" chairs. 2 frame pieces and 1 piece of canvas.

Cool - thanks for the info - no chairs! Lack of creature comforts indeed!
