is there any plan by either hobby boss or trumpheter to release zsu-57-2 in the future?

Hi Richard,

I actually stumbled upon Armo's 1:35 scale ZSU-57-2 just the other day: http://www.jadarhobby.pl/armo-35008-zsu572-135-soviet-sp-anti-aircraft-gun-p-491.html

There is also an Armada Hobby offering in 1:72: http://plastic-models-store.com/ZSU-57-2-Soviet-AA-self-propelled-gun-resin-kit--PE-set-1-72--Armada-Hobby-E72095-6964.html

The shops are just the first ones to turn up on a quick search so you might be able to find better prices.

Having said that, I'd be glad to see this done in styrene one day along with a retooled Shilka (ZSU-23-4).

Cheers,
Cristian

Thank's!

The Armo kit is good but be prepared to work with some very small brass parts and the instructions are awful, you'll need other references. Also the radio fit in turret is completely missing, I'm still trying to gather refs on it.
