Tomislav those pictures are wonderful!! Thank you for the picture of PAS. Do you happen to have any of the SU-100s?

Unfortunaty no. I also would like to build Serbian Su-100 model so I have searched a lot about them but only pics I could find are the ones that Mauro posted on page one of this topic (he stated that it is Su-85, acctualy it is SU-100). This pictures are from serbian documentary film "Pad Krajine" (The fall of Krajina),

and only other screenshoot that I have shows barrel so nothing that isn't visible on others. I have few pre-war pictures of JNA SU-100 from '70's. What I can tell you that this is late post WWII Su-100 (side toolbox, starfish wheels, fuel pump box, etc.) Standard JNA olive-green paint, with Serb flag painted around barrel, front glacis and side tool box, and top entry hatch. Unfortunatly I can't tell if there was an white serial number on side, but probably it should be. JNA Su-100 had them (4 and 5 digits, same font as on T-34), and Serb militia usualy kept them.

Those Su-100 belonged to Independant antitank platoon of 36. mechanized (reserve) brigade, 12. corps of Yugoslav Army stationed in Backa Topola in northern Serbia. The unit was send to Croatia during Yugoslav Army intervention in summer of 1991 and was involved in fighting in north eastern parts of Croatia. After truce in 1992 Yugoslav Army retrits from Croatia, but hand those Su-100 to local Serb militia (VRSK). In the summer of 1992 Bosnian and Croatian Serbs lunched combined offensive in Northern Bosnia called "Coridor '92" and those Su-100 was last seen fighting there.
I don't know what happen to them. I suppose they stayed in Bosnia, but I never saw or hear anything about them again.

Thanks for the information, I also have one picture of a Yugoslav SU-100 from the 70's but it doesn't have the starfish wheels.

It's not an M10, it's a M36 with the turret roof armor.
