Sorry for the off-top, gentlemen - what could it be (yellow and blue arrows) ??

@PiotrK id say that’s probably the computer system that arms them and is most likely connected to the joy stick of the gunner. I’ll be honest this is a wild gander on my part.

@Gregory_J_Copplin could be right, on the other hand, if you zoom in maximal, the left bit looks like the back of some box, which might be mounted on that side of the vehicle The bit on the right, almost looks like a view on the steering wheel of the vehicle…

In my opinion, both boxes marked in red with yellow arrows are the same, probably a converter / computer, in blue it is probably a radio … maybe more photos and more accurate than those included in the thread?

You are probably right :+1:

The SS-10 was a wire-guided anti-tank missile system that entered service in 1955. The only computer involved was the brain of the operator connected to a pair of Mk.1 eyeballs glued to a simple binocular, superimposing the tracking flare on the target with a hand-operated joystick to guide the missiles via the guide-wire.

The system was dismountable from the carrier vehicle. The boxes marked with red circles were carrying containers for the missiles. The containers can be clearly seen right of the missile set up for launching from the dismounted position:

More pictures of the system set up for ground-launch. The object marked with the blue circle is apparently a wireless set:

You are great!!
Now only the dimensions of this box, more details of the construction and you can start!
Additionally, I am intrigued, what is marked with yellow and red circles ?? And what does this plate look like that separates the “combat” compartment from the “driver” section…

@ReluctantRenegade: nice extra info, thanks!,

What do you mean?

That’s actually the back-plate of the launcher itself.

Between the 03:20-04:28 marks this system appears:

Thanks for more great info! Just to bad I don’t understand a word of what they are saying… :roll_eyes:

Wish I had seen that video when I was building my version, would have been able to detail it a bit better, those are the best pictures of it sofar.

Well, a new puzzle - what is it?

Marked in red is probably a cable winding spool?

@PiotrK to be honoust, your guess is as good as mine… the last one does look like a cabble winding spool, but the other stuff?

Exactly! And that’s the puzzle … :thinking:

It’s a propaganda movie, a you’re not missing out anything, believe me…
What is interesting though, is the moving target that appears at at 03:50 mark. I think it’s this Sherman conversion:

Maybe power-packs for the missiles…?

There are more detailed photos of this vehicle ??

Not that I know of, otherwise I would have used them to detail my build better… wish I had seen that video earlier…

I have have a few close-ups of the missiles themselves, but that’s about it. I do have some more of these missiles mounted on a different vehicle though.
