Having captured a substantial quantity of Panzer IIIs and StuG IIIs, the Soviets converted some of them into 76mm-armed SPGs, as the SU-76i.

Which kit is this?

 

[jknaus]

The dragon SU-76i. I tried to build the command one a few years back and didnt read the instructions thereby killing it.

Soviet SU-76i Self-Propelled Gun, Dragon 6838 (2016)

I managed to get the casement on and gun and some other stuff this morning. Pics later.

I have that kit too, it hasn't made it to the top of the stack yet. Definitely some minor surgery required to get things where they need to be.

 

[jknaus]

Yeah a bit. I ended up putting a 10 thou shim in between the top hatch and back hatches. Also cut circles in 5 thou plastic to cap the tank ends. Have the wheels for the Pz IV and the SU mounted on bamboo skewers and hopefully tomorrow paint them black. Then on the weekend paint thee hubs their particular col;our.

That is cool! I've been wanting to add one or two of these to my collection in 1/72 scale. One would be Russian; one a re-captured German one. Now I need to find a couple decent kits.... and the money to buy them....
