Hi folks,

has already built one the 2s3m? I think the model is not in 1:35 scale, it's too smale for 1:35.

Hi Andy,

I am building this kit at the moment- I just started last week. I think the hull is OK but it seems the turret is a bit odd. and yes I think a little too small - but I don't have any dimensions to compare. The gun tube is definitely out of scale as the outer diameter in 1/35 is less than 152mm - that can't be right. Also the turret front is incorrectly shaped - The prime portal walkaround shows the turret top. I have built a new gun barrel and corrected the turret front with magic sculpt. These are the two biggies I think. Hopefully it should turn out OK? I am a big fan of Pawel's kits - they are unique - I have built the pathand, krug and gecko and am waiting for the TOR to arrive (any day now)

Best regards

Ian

Hi Ian,

thank you. Do you have one or two pics from your build?
I have build the SA-4 and the SA-8 from Pavel and must thank him for his work.

I have put some pics of my completed 2S3 up on Missing Lynx. I think it turned out OK.

Best regards
