Trumpeter's Facebook page is teasing us. Apparently they plan to bring out another vehicle based on the chassis of their well done new Scud Missile Carrier:

That setup from Trumpeter is most likely a Smerch.

I agree, you are probably correct but please note that the top photo shows a chassis with a hydraulic leveling jack between the 3rd and 4th axles but in the bottom photo the jack is not there. This could indicate more than one version of the vehicle is in the works.

You're a man after my own heart Renato! The fifth wheel tractor is exactly the model I have been wanting to build! Excellent.

If only model trains and model armor traveled in the same scale circles, so to speak! This would be so much easier to build.

My question has always been is the 12x12 chassis still powered by it's standard diesel engine just to haul this big emergency generator around or did the Russians replace the chassis driveline with locomotive traction motors so the whole thing is powered by the big locomotive diesel/electric generator?

Anybody???

It could be done easily enough in HO. I have several Russian locomotives from the old East German company Piko.
The Scud B is available from ETH Arsenal. You'd just have to cast a few more wheels. I'm just not that into HO to spend my time doing it, although it would be cool.
