Oh Yessss, that '43 looks just like the one I had back in the day....................knocked together in a backyard somewhere !!
She's right Mr Ram, all good things come to those that wait

Lots of the reference images I used looked like they were guns made from demilitarised samples or parts kits, quite a few had welds across the receivers. Luckily I guess the PPS-43 was a simple and rugged enough design that that isn't an issue!

Got some test prints in over the last few days, it's a delicate little thing. I'm not brave enough to try a version with the stock unfolded, I think it'd end up too flimsy.


Looks the business, though! The details came out nicely, the safety selector, magazine catch, stock buttons and both sights are all nice and crisp. I couldn't quite get a photo, but you can even get a proper sight picture if you hold it up to your eye!

Print some 7.62 x 25 ammo for it and I will give it a test run!!!

Stock folded is a tankers norm anyway I’d say

Been ages and at the risk of digging up a "necro-thread" have stumbled over this ......................

Note none of these leviathans have auxiliary fuel tanks, have loads of stowage, and almost all mudguards./fenders missing. Also....none have Dushkas fitted despite it being the final days of the war.
Interesting to see more marked vehicles than the well known '432' in pictures.

I wonder if Rad could make the running bear over the red star. I would think the MGs would be (unfortunately) useful in urban close quarters. Could they have been secured to keep them from walking off?
