discussion GT-T tracked transport vehicle

[tomasla]

hi to all! I just finish this vehicle, and im ready to 3d print it... but i would like to add a weapon to it.... just for the "looks".... even if is not at all historically accurate... which weapon do you think could fit better in a vehicle like this.. a rocket launcher or machine gun (like a dshk) .... for context its 1950´s soviet made... thanks in advance....
cheers!

A Degtyarev M1938/46* on a tripod would then probably be your best bet.

On the third vehicle with the closed rear compartment, is the roof part intended to represent the canvas that you can see in the photo of the real thing, or is it a hard roof?

* Commonly known as a DShK, but that’s the M1938 version, not the improved model from 1946 that did away the the Shpagin-designed feed system, and thus dropped his name from the designation :smiling3:

I asked whether it’s the canvas because in the photo of the real vehicle, it follows the line of the cab while on your model it sits lower and more inward Adding some wrinkles would go a long way to not making it look like a closed, steel cab, though.
