Finnish T-62 AA Platform

[buzzbomb]

Working on a GB elsewhere, so using some unused bits from previous builds, the Missile Launcher components of the Trumpeter SA-6 Gainful and pre-loved good ol' Tamiya T-62 chassis, where the turret was also used elsewhere.

Bit of a test build as size matters and went for it
 

The turrety bit of the SA-6 was missing/used elsewhere so a new version was designed up on MS 3D builder and printed on my 3D Printer


Nope.. didn't cut it.. so a few more iterations to get it somewhere near where it needed to be


Got to the stage where it was suitable enough, so added some bits


Which leaves us here - Transport Mode


Launch Mode


I am a bit further along more updates shortly.

Looks infinitely more survivable than some of the GM-578 chassis it normally gets mounted on

Lovin this Buzzy 😍
I did a similar thing  but it's no wiff ..T55 with a SA-2 mounted on it..used in Cuba.

[Dizzyfugu]

Neat.

[NARSES2]

Neat.

It is indeed 

[buzzbomb]

A few bits and bobs missing from the missile sprues/parts stash that may or may not have either been used on other projects or moved to the modelling alternate universe via the bottomless spares box and/or carpet monster.

Nonetheless, proceeding to the Paint shop next.. this is about it, the last few bits and pieces

Looking good.
I've got a T54 SPAAG to build some time.  Big gun though rather than missiles.

Initial paint work.

Finnish T-55 esque splinter scheme. I figured that it makes sense, well to me anyway, that the splinter scheme follows through this series of MBT chassis



Decals underway at the moment, then a touch of weathering.

[Wardukw]

Dude that looks fan-bloody-tastic 😍 😁

[zenrat]

Masked or hand painted?

[Old Wombat]

Yep, this is what I was waiting for!    

[buzzbomb]

So goodbye Tamiya T-62 with a "forget what brand" BDD conversion set in the Afghan comapaign now it is rebuilt as a Finnish T-62 with SA-6.
Total outlay for the rebuild ? Zero . All from bits left over from other builds or that have been reused for other builds, some in stock plastic card plus a bit of 3D printer Design time and some printer filament.

Some generic Finland Decals from the decals box, light weathering and that is is

[Weaver]

That looks great - nice one! 

[Jakko]

That looks very convincing

[zenrat]

Good job BB.   

Would it be a stand alone system or would there have to be another vehicle with it with radar?
