A39 Tortoise Heavy Tank Destroyer
Sariel posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
We all know that Lego dislikes tank models. By this logic, they should love tank destroyers, right? ;) Photos & reading: http://sariel.pl/2016/10/a39-tortoise/ -
Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr Behind the strange name of Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G (also shortened into "StuG III"), we can find one of the most successful German armored vehicle of WW2. Initially designed as mobile and armored artillery support for infantry, the StuG III quickly revealed itself as a very effective tank destroyer. In fact, it was so successful that it became the most produced German fully-tracked vehicle of WW2, and the 2nd most produced armored vehicle (just behind the Sdkfz 251 half track). Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr So, why manufacturing a tank destroyer when you already have the best tanks around (Panzer IV, Panther, Tiger)? The answer is quite simple: cost. The StuG III was cheaper and easier to produce than all other more modern German tanks. Still, it could carry the devastating 7.5cm anti-tank gun. Moreover, it offered easy maintenance when on the field. Thanks to that, more than 11,300 units were built (all versions included). This number is to be compared with the number of built Panthers (6,000), Tiger I (1,500), or even with the total number of armored vehicles built on the Panzer IV chassis (8,500). Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr The Stug III's low profile made it hard to spot and target, as the above picture can illustrate. Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr The side armored plates are named "Schürzen" and offer additional protection. The Ausf. G version is characterized by the wider superstructure, and the rotating cupola with periscopes. My model depicts an early-to-mid production model. late-production models have a sloped and rounded gun mantlet and a machine gun on top of the structure. Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr Another characteristic of the StuG III is its capacity to store and carry a lot of equipment behind the superstructure. This was often used to carry spare parts (tracks & wheels), food, water, gas, and ammunition (ok not when in the front line). Sturmgeschütz III Ausf. G by Veynom, on Flickr For the build, my model is freely inspired by those from Brickmania (BKM), Custom-Bricks (CB), and other MOCs from the Internet. The minifig and crate stickers are from BKM. The tracks and tanks stickers are from CB. All of my olive green tiles were used for the camo. That was a challenge: it had to look realistic and yet, the model had to hold together. Enjoy!

Hi guys, here we go with a new military vehicle! The 2S25 Sprut-SDM1 is letal Russian light tank/tank destroyer, based on the chassis of the BMD-3 Infantry fighting vehicle. Standard equipment includes an electronic NBC protection system to ensure survivability of the crew. The 2S25 Sprut-SDM1 is equipped with a two-man turret armed with a 125 mm anti-tank gun. The gun is fitted with an autoloader, which ensures the high rate of fire of 6−8 rounds per minute with both conventional projectiles and rounds with guided missiles. A coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun mounted to the left side of the main armament serves as the secondary armament of the 2S25; equipped with one tape of 2000 rounds. A remote weapon station is mounted on the turret. The 2S25 features hydropneumatic suspension, The hull of the 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun is composed of welded aluminium armor with a composite skin to maintain a light weight. Model inspired from Nam Tran.

Hi guys! Today I show you one of my last creations, the B2 Centauro Tank Destroyer, the latest Italian military masterpiece. It is the evolution of the B1 Centauro. The B2 Centauro has been designed for the modern doctrine of Network-Centric Warfare, to serve in OOTW (Operations Other Than War) missions and for urban warfare, where a wheeled platform is far more functional than others in terms of mobility and firepower. With HITFACT-2, ATTILA-D, ERICA, LOTHAR-SD, TILDE B IR camera, SICCONA technologies. It has a 120mm OTO-Melara as main gun and it's armed with a HITROLE ROWS. It has also GALIX13, RALM sensors, Jammer Guardian H3 system, CBRN, BRUKER, composite armor. Is moved by a 8V IVECO-FPT (Fiat Powertrain) VECTOR 720 hp engine.

[MOC] Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer (RC)
Tommy Styrvoky posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Lego Jagdpanzer 38(T) Hetzer (RC) by Tommy Styrvoky, on Flickr I present my latest armored vehicle, a German built tank destroyer on a Czechoslovakian panzer 38(T) chassis. The model that I have built has 2 L motors with a 1:2 reduction that propels the model. It has fully suspended road wheels that use torsion bars (even though the real vehicle uses leaf springs ) to suspend the rugged chassis. It has a dual axis trunnion that controls the gun's elevation/depression. The trunnion has a mini LA that powers the left/right traverse, and a 1:64 reduction that elevates/depresses the 75mm cannon. Rebrickable LDD/Ldraw instructions soon to come... I have been working on these constantly, so far the model is atleast 1000 parts, and that's with only half of the casemate built.
