The title is the question. Does anyone make a 1/35 SU-57 halftrack or conversion?

Funny i was curious about this too about a week ago. I’d say our best bet is converting a Dragon kit and putting a zis gun on it. Possibly one of the IDf kits would work?

The SU 57 was the T48 half-track. It used a 6 pounder gun not a Russian one. They received over 600 under lend lease. I'm hopeful that Dragon will eventually produce it. IDF SP half-tracks were a mixture of different variants with the gun modified to fit. The T48 was purpose built so it's a very different vehicle.

Thanks Frenchy. Yes, I think that may be hard to find.

I saw that one too Greg.

I guess Dragon's M3 75mm Gun Motor Carriage might actually be a good base if I wanted to try to scratch one. Kinda surprised they haven't already done it.

I empathize with you; a regular plastic kit of an SU-57 going to be a tough one to get the model manufacturers to produce. 'Nuff said...

Eh ... they build what sells. Can't blame them. They are businesses trying to make a profit, they have no obligation to produce everything on everyone's personal wishlist.

I'm actually cool with that. I really got into the whole paper panzer thing. Weirdo ... I know.

I mean I’m not knocking them cause I’ve built a few. But like stated above they build what will sell. I’ll say they exploited the paper panzers especially with the popularity of war thunder and the other tank games. I just wish they’d try and get some real things out as well.
