Hi all
I just finished this Russian 2S3 from Trumpeter with a resin gun barrel from Panzerart.
Hope you like it :blush:

Hi Jacob,
great paint job there. I guess you used the 2S3 early kit? This is not correct, since the vehicle is a 2S3 M. The kit has also the typical wheel chocks of a NVA gun. Trumpeter did again a sloppy research job, as with some of their other Soviet kits.

Really nice looking 2S3 … a real old work horse. Super finish on it as well Jacob :+1:

Thank you :blush:
No, it’s actually the late model I build :thinking:

Trumpeter mislabeled the both kits. The so-called early is a late (2S3M) and vice versa. I built the same as yours : a late being in fact an early model.
As Hans Hermann states it Trumpeter (and the sister company Hobby Boss) has a poor research team.
Nice paint job!

The colour is spot on as is the grime and general wear in my opinion.

Excellent job Jacob. Beautiful painting and weathering. Love the dark shadows on the surface, really emphasizes the shape of the vehicle. Outstanding
