discussion Panzer III conversion to a Soviet SU-76i

[Guest]

Hi this will be my next conversion if you can put up with another one.

As you can see I've already started this.

Parts.

Parts marked are to be removed.


This is were the f/r shock absorbers and centre hatch will go.


Making inner missing wheels and rear idle wheels, trying to get some front sprockets and will be
fitting 1/35 track hopefully.

Totally removed all the hull details, added brass grills.


Totally remade rear panel, made exhausts and towing ponits.



Fitted gun emplacement, main gun and shield.



Will be using the old turret hatches on the rear engine deck (before & after).


Thank you for looking in.
Pete.

Small up date.

Replaced the toon barrel.
Made f/r shock absorbers and hatch in the lower hull.
Fitted rear fuel drums adding some missing details.
Fitted 2x side stowage boxes, fire extinguisher, spare track to front .
Added 1or rivets/bolt heads here and there.

Just the lights and wiring, tools and couple of handles and wait the front sprockets to come to finish
off the suspension/ wheels work.



















Thank you for looking in, hope you like it.
Pete.

Hi Pete
Excellent. Must be hard doing a Toon conversion. Scratched parts have to be in "Toon Style" but you have a huge amount of Toon experience so maybe you brain is turning "Toony" :tongue-out3:

Hi build stage complete had to re work all of the running gear as you can see, new f/ sprockets, R/ idlers and axel, make inner road and top return rollers.

Added some jerry cans and stowage for a bit of interest.
