Building GDR NVA

I have the “crazy” idea of building me a Geländegängiges Mehrzweckgerät 2,5


I found a HO gauge 3D printed kit model of it, all I need now is the wheels and axles of the IFA W50 truck from Balaton.

Thanks :slight_smile: I was wondering if the S was for Start, but then wondered if the T belonged to that too, or if it stood for something else I couldn’t work out.

I ordered SA-7 missiles from OKB Grigorov. I wonder how long it takes them to arrive.

A little bit unusual today. I build T-Model SSkra Köln platform wagon with a “testload” 2S1 kit. I am not sure if Reichbahn had the SSkra Köln.

I just came across this on YouTube, I thought I’d post it here as it fits nicely, I think :slight_smile:

Hello, I am wondering if it would be possible for you to send me some photos from your copy of Fahrzeug Profile #79. I’m trying to do some research on some East German anti-air systems and it has some of the info I’m looking for. Unfortunately, I am unable to get my hands on a copy anytime soon. Thanks.

Just picked up on this interesting thread. I checked Scalemates and found this

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/spalah-sp14735-at-gun-100mm-mt-12-rapira--1627028

Looks fairly new.

All it takes, it seems, is someone with some skill to start scratch building, and out pops a kit, albeit 3D. Well done Hans-Hermann!

Crying out for an MTLB to tow it!

I seriously considering getting this gun, does anyone know how good this brand is? Is it plastic or resin?

It is resin.

3D printed. I’ve seen Spalah models in the flesh. The detail and printing are outstanding. You won’t be disappointed.

^^Ditto^^

I have a couple of their figure sets and their M119A2 Howitzer. They look awesome with excellent details.

Totally agree Brian, so much so I’ve just ordered one of the 3D printed MT-12’s and now need guidance from the masses on what the best 1/35 MTLB is. I’m assuming Trumpeter?

How this hobby fascinates me!

I’ve seen the Trumpeter and Skif offerings. But based upon what I see of the spues, and of the excellent quality of Zvezda kits that I’ve built in recent years, and the fact that their new tooled kit was just released this year, with multipiece pre-sagged track sections, (which I have used) I’m willing to give Zvezda the nod.

I second Rob´s opinion. Go with Zvezda!
