Bart Goesaert
Interesting conversion. Following with interest

Rui S
Another diferent & interesting model. Very nice as usual 👍 Do you prefer to present it, as in the museum?

Angel Yovtshev
Thanks Bart!
And thanks Rui! Yes, my intention is to model the restored vehicle.

Stefan Schneider
Nice subject! Looking forward to the final result.

Olivier
Strange mixture of two efficient machines. I am sure it can have no better embalmer than you, Angel.

Angel Yovtshev
Thanks Stefan!

And thanks Olly!
Not quite strange if one considers:
- the conditions of the organic Pz.IV guns(already worned out and at the end of their life expectancy) and low stock/impossible replenishment of Pz.Granaten back in the 1950's- on one side, and
-the abundance of ZiS-3 guns and ammo the Army had, on the other side.
The mixture was a rational solution, that enabled bulding a bit more "pileboxes" back then, instead of simply adding some ex-Pz.IV steel to the output of steel works.

Rui S
Well done as usual, Angel, and fast also😢

Angel Yovtshev
Thanks Rui!
Yeah- 4 days for cutting the excess, 2 days for construction and 1 day for painting and weathering 🙂
The asphalt painting was done by a friend of mine(Kalin Merodijski).

Bart Goesaert
Nice and intriguing subject, very well executed...

Angel Yovtshev
Thanks Bart!
It was a small-but funny-project 🙂
