TRUMPETER 122mm SOVIET D-30 HOWITZER
Posted by waynec on Wednesday, January 2, 2013 6:50 PM
first finish of 2013. thought it would look cool in travel mode but not really. will do M-198 in combat mode. does have a considerably smaller footprint though. nothing earth shattering. just a fun 2nd towed gun build. i now have 5 more in the stash. generic dirt base so it doesn't sit as well as it would in a custom base.

Very nice.  I always love seeing another piece of artillery here.  It looks to be a nice kit.

Nice work! Love seeing something different from Shermans and Tigers (as much as I love them). You just need a truck to hitch it to now!

Cool simple clean looking build waynec! Love to see Arty pieces, and the simplicity really makes one appreciate the gun. I wouln't have been able to resist making it look busy with crew, cam nets, ammo and all the paraphernalia I have spare.

hi ghost you'll be seeing more from me, i have 5 more plus 2 SAMs in the stash. the german 150 infantry gun has a crew so i will probably do a little dio with them. same with 75mm. i haven't figured out what to do with it. not sure if there are any post ww2 soviet trucks (other than the 8x8 tractor) to tow this thing
