ZSU-23-4V1 "Shilka" - Meng 1/35
« on: January 29, 2021, 06:37:14 PM »
I would like to realize this model which, in 2014 from August 24 to August 29, participated to “Peace Mission 2014” at China’s Zhurihe Training Base, in Inner Mongolia (North China) 

Peace Mission 2014 was the largest military exercise conducted by the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), with five of the six member countries participating (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan but not Uzbekistan).

After beating the old Dragon offering into shape a couple of times, looking forward to see how the Meng version goes together.

Somehow missed the start of this! :icon_surprised:


Very good start, Rod! The driver's compartment looks excellent! :smiley: :smiley:

Odd to see two different sprue colours in a Meng kit, but OOB this looks very, very nice.

Hmmm...that last photo makes me wonder about a version fitted with a gatling gun - maybe a GSh-6-30, the same gun as used in the Kashtan CIWS but use just one of them:




Maybe as an upgrade option - ZSU-30-6 anyone?

Good idea.  :smiley: I seem to recall the range of the 23mm rounds was felt to be insufficient at some point. Swapping the gun could mean a relatively cheap upgrade.
Wonder if the S-60 57mm gun would fit?

Range comparison:

23 mm 2A7 from ZSU-23-4   30mm 2А38 from 2K22 Tunguska   30mm GSh-30K   57mm S-68 from ZSU-57-2
Effective vertical range: 1.5 km/direct range: 2.5 km   Effective vertical range: 3 km/direct range: 4 km   Effective vertical range: 3 km/direct range: 4 km   Effective vertical range: 4 km/direct range: 4.5 km

Thus the GSh-30K is better than the 2A7 and about equal to the 2A38 but with a much higher rate of fire (though this also means a need for more ammunition).  The S-68 is better with range but the ammunition size probably causes issues.  Mind you, the recent 2S38 ZAK-57 Derivaciya PVO (see below) returns to the 57mm gun, albeit in a newer with an effective vertical range: 4.5km and direct range of 6km supposedly



Either way, I just thought a version with a 6 barrel, 30mm gun would look cool and different.

Rod, that is moving along very nicely, the blutac/Camo putty masking worked really well

Something like this, only I went the 30/3 option, saves on ammo ;)

That'd work well with an ammo donkey based on the same chassis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_chassis

Fit one of these with the same internal stowage boxes (just *more*).

Tactically snug the ammo donkey up to the firing platform for sustained AAA fire.

Looks dangerous to anything within range.  Tracks show realistic use and shovels particularly real.  :smiley:
