MIG Productions makes armoured Soviet gunboat!

It looks to be a great model. But I wonder if it could be motorised and r/ced or dose it have a solid hull.
I will have to check it out.

I'm amazed by the ability of people to motorize things that are designed as static models, but this one is definitely intended for static display. I'd love to see one zooming around in the local sailboat pond though, firing its 76.2mm gun at the yachters!

It's hollow cast but it still weighs a couple of Kilo. Definitely a shelf job.Then again there are some canny people out there.

Looks very interesting!
Is this a WW2 design? Looks very like a T-34/76 turret for the main gun, and BA-20 armoured car or T-37 amphibious tank
turrets for the MGs.

It must be truly enormous in 1/35 scale, if it's around the same size as a WW2 PT boat. If it's cast in resin (I'd assume so) it must be incredibly heavy, even if hollow-cast - I doubt motorisation would be possible.

Yup. They were used in frontal attacks against German positions. They were armoured, and moved around from river to river by train.

To get a good gauge of how big it is, look at the turret. That's the turret of a T-34/76.
