I want an SU-100 for the stash but so far all I have seen is Zvezda any opinions??

Hi,
I'd try the Dragon version myself, I've built a few Zvezda kits and although the general detail is ok the wheels are "basic" and the tracks useless. Yet to get the Dragon SU100 but it's on my wish list, have a look on E-bay, there are usually a couple around,

Zvezda's SU-100 is okay, and doesn't have the rear hull fit problems of their -85s. The tracks are indeed rubbish as everyone says. It is also a post-war production model, which is something to beware of.

Dragon's SU-100 has the correct WW2 features but is hard to get your hands on.

Andrew, I would recommend the Dragon SU-100 kit, its far superior to the Zvezda offering. Thing is, the Dragon SU-100 kit is currently OOP. However, you can still find it.

Good luck hunting !

Cheers !!

Well, since you didn't mention scale, I like the 1/25 one from Tamiya. A lot of inaccuracies (rough where it should be smooth, smooth where it should be rough, etc) but it also has a really neat spring loaded suspension. Makes a good counterpart to the 1/25 Centurion.

Tamiya's 1/25th SU-100 is a post-war version too, based on the Czech-built ex-Egyptian one at Bovington.

I'd make them from tamiya but i know if you want it bigger than 1:35 , academy has one in 1:25 and i think even trumpeter has one, good luck
