SU '85 AN-BRI-RAMINATOR PROJECT
Posted: Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:42 am
I thought I would make a new thread on the actual build completion of this seldom modeled tank destroyer.
As in the previous thread begun by Mr Raminator, I've chosen a version of the SU-85 that is pictured with Panther roadwheels replaced on its running gear.
Allegedly this was an expedient measure due to the shortage of replacement wheels carried out by field workshop units at the time.
I am going to take a bit of creative licence and make a supposition that the practice was wider spread than we think, and that the innovative & hard pressed Soviet support mechanics came up with a way to keep their guns in the fight & did so at every opportunity.
At the moment I've not decided on the period timing or any specific vehicle, but the research begins in earnest now to do so if possible.
I had intended to run the Taigen V3 system in it, just to get the right sound. The Taigen Russian tank sound is fantastic when put through a good speaker. But, now I've done 2 H/L 6.1s set ups, I am telling myself to cope with the sound difference by using the T90 set and getting the advantage of servo control. Again, this is not 100% decided either
Anyway................Im off to rip apart a perfectly good toy like the kid next door in Toy Story !!
