Dear all,
I'm looking for all sorts of references on the SU-122 for a review. Mostly dimensions, drawings, etc, to check for accuracy issues. It'd be nice to see the interior of the actual vehicle, too... can you please point me to the right direction? I've exhausted what little google could offer.

Thanks, Frenchy.
That's the first time I've seen that photo. It'll be very helpful when my MiniArt kit shows up. :-)
The most interesting thing is that the interior seems either 4BO or red primer (guessing 4BO since there seems to be a bit of a sheen to it). I don't see any white at all.
Should be fun to paint! ;-)

Have a look at this image:

Soviet interior paint was not that 'white' at times, and it is semi-gloss as well...

Actually that is a trick of the lighting. I've been in the Littlefield -85 and I can vouch for the fact that is is white. :-)
