I have the PST 1/72 ISU-122 and ISU-152 self propelled guns, and I was wondering what were used for ammo resupply vehicles. With only room for 30 and 20 rounds respectively, according to the instruction history, they would have had to have resupply vehicles following right along with the guns when they rolled over the go line.
I have PST's ISU-2m too, and I am going to set up a Stalin assembly line from one side of my work bench to the other

BB,

The Russians had ZIL trucks following them - serriously!

Also, MT-LB's were used in the role as resupply vehicles in less than accessable areas to wheeled vehicles.

Hey BB,

With Jacques pot, something just came to mind: Are you refering to WWII or modern - Cold War?

WWII = my answer

Cold War = Jacques answer

I'm talking about May '45. Maybe a diorama of the reduction of the last line of German fortifications on the Seelow Heights after the Russians poured across the Vistula River. I might stick in a Rodan 1/72 IS-3 with the heavies, all with early May air and ground recognition marks on their turret sides, superstructures and roofs

oops...yup, I went too far forward.

also modern would be MAZ trucks...


WWII would be the ZIL's and the american lend-lease trucks, like the 2 1/2 ton.
