    OKB Grigorov's SU-102 in 72 scale with What if camouflage Just 4 days after the death of Hitler a provocation event happened on the Elbe river line. Drunk Soviet soldiers tried to rape a German girl, but encountered American soldiers who defended the girl (maybe they wanted the girl for themselves). In the exchanged firefight two American soldiers were killed and one Soviet junior Lieutenant was wounded. The American captain, who was the commandant of the opposite village in the American occupied territory did want to give a small lesson to the Soviet comrades and ordered an attack of the village, where this event happened. Marshal Zhukov, after counselling with Stavka and Stalin got to conclusion that this was the prelude of the major American attack, which so many intelligence sources were telling about and ordered a full all front preemptive counterattack. The President of Germany Karl Dönitz took the American side and three months later German elite troops captured Bucharest, where they got this new piece of Soviet armor SU-102. Of course, according to the orders of Flensburg government the new flag of the German republic was also painted at the front of the tank. The crew commemorated the Bucharest victory with a sign painted next to the gun mantle.

    As you can guess it is a what if camouflage, SU-102 has never been captured, however I find the Russian green a little bit boring for this beauty and decided to make it more colorful. I even made up a story from which one can conclude why there is an inverted Kriegsmarine flag without swastika on the front armor and a sign Bucharest next to the mantle. The vehicle is finished and I'll put more pictures in Ready for inspection section. Here is the story: Just 4 days after the death of Hitler a provocation event happened on the Elbe river line. Drunk Soviet soldiers tried to rape a German girl, but encountered American soldiers who defended the girl (maybe they wanted the girl for themselves). In the exchanged firefight two American soldiers were killed and one Soviet junior Lieutenant was wounded.

    The decals are on

    It has its own camouflage now
  5. Vels
    And now it has a coat of primer

    All the parts are glued together

    Some mudguards which will be totally hidden behind the wheels, but I like the detail it adds.

    To be honest, it wasn't easy, EpicPlastic. I used pliers for photoetch and tweezers. I used also a bender, but for two parts only, as they are really tiny.

    Well, now it looks more like DShK

    The machinegun is ready for painting

    I started OKB Grigorov's Su-102 in 72 scale. First built the DShK from the kit. It was over 20 resin and photoetched parts. I suppose this is the finest and most accurate DShK on the planet in 72 scale

    This is my Soviet submarine project 701 NATO name Hotel III from OKB Grigorov in 1/700 scale. Very nice kit, the only bad thing was that the build finished very quickly, as they were only few parts but I enjoyed all the 2 minutes of it
  13. Vels
    And I made a video about the build you can watch here:

    @73northBecause AT2 is with a fixed gun. What I've built here is AT1 In this thread is my build of AT2:

    The old heavy "prime minister" (Churchill) was outdated and urgently needed a replacement. Sawed by the Americans, the T-14 did not cause much joy among the British, as it looked like an ordinary tank. Then the task was given to design an assault tank with the most thick armor. The development was commissioned by Nuffield. On March 13 (Thursday), 1943, the first drawings version of the tank, called the AT-1 (Assault Tank-1), was issued. Weight 45 tons, torsion bar suspension, weapons in a rotating turret, either a 75 mm gun or a 95 mm howitzer. In general, the project was normal and quite calm. This is the OKB Grigorov's A.T.1 in 72 scale. The model building was a joy, as it builds in real rare gem in any collection. Painting scheme is from this picture: I hope you like it You can find the building of the model here:

    @OutcastJoel , I used this picture for reference, I don't know what the story is: @gamevender , very nicely looking Nuffield A.T.2 you have made. I also made A.T.2 you can see the build here:

    This is OKB Grigorov's What if interpretation of German 3 cm Flak Panzer IV Kugelblitz on 9./B.W. chassis in 1/72 scale.
  18. Vels
    The paint scheme is painted, now it needs a little bit more weathering and the Nuffield isready
  19. Vels
    @Bullbasket It is part of the kit
  20. Vels
    @Silenoz I don't think I widened the muzzle, just drilled it inside. I put together all the small parts. Now it is ready for priming and paintint.
  21. Vels
    Up and running
  22. Vels
    I built this kit using Part photoetched for detailing, OKB Grigorov's tracks, RB Models gun and some scratchbuilding. I hope you like it
  23. Vels
    I started another OKB Grigorov's British Nuffield Assault tank, this time it is A.T.1 I think I will not stop until I build all the available Nuffield tanks 😁
  24. Vels
    I don't remember, somewhere from internet, I think I found it on pinterest
  25. Vels
    @Silenoz I wanted to look something like this: but considering the fact that this tank never existed, I wasn't so strict about the camo. I consider this project finished, hope you like it.
