I discovered the SG-122 when trawling t'internet for interesting things for my Pendraken 10mm Kursk era stuff.

Just type SG-122 into the Image bit of google and you turn up a variety of things such as:

Interesting model and certainly 'buildable'... the question is of course of why you would want one ;)
Typical also that had this been a German built vehicle every big model firm would have it in it's inventory in every imaginable scale... somehow they're all very much attracted to German hardware... :-\

To be fair to the Germans a run of ten vehicles is quite big for their production capacity :D

I was thinking just the same thing...

And if it was German they would almost have to had to put it to use! ;D

As a "what if" vehicle for table-top use it's more credible than things like the Maus. Further reading, sparked by this thread, suggests that up to 21 were built on PzIII and StuG chassis and that they were issued to combat units but lack of spares and problems of the German radios they carried operating on different frequencies from the Russian ones lead to them being transferred to training units.

21 ... that's more than ten times as many as Maus prototypes, roughly four times as many as completed Kugelblitz, half the production run of the Ostwind, 25% of the number of Jagdtigers, roughly the same as the number of SiG33Bs.

Looks like that would be perfectly historical! :)

I think I need to start an fsn style campaign for a Pendraken SG-122 :D :D :D

I can't see sharp enough in the picture... is the new t-34 turret in the middle "Mickey" type or another?

I think it is the T-34/76 obr 41 version with the single trapezoid hatch on top. I do hope they release a proper 42/43 version with the twin round hatches (the Mickey turret!) for Kursk.

Yeah, the picture appears to show an obr 40 and an obr 41 turret T34/76 and an obr 43 T34/85

Would be nice to get an obr 42 Mickey Mouse turret T34/76 for Kursk

It would need an obr 42 T34/76 with the commander's cupola to complete the set.

Thanks for information.

AFAIK "Mickey" type was introduced in late 1942 despite 43 symbol. In a book about winter 1942/43 Kharkov battle there are pictures of many "mickeys" in the snow.

Pendraken could probably make "Mickey" turret as well.

Agreed, I need about 50 of em, so am patiently waiting for that turret variant.

Hi,

please let me ask a question about t-34 "Mickey" turet again.

Is it (will it) be available with the remodelled T-34 hull?

Possibly, I will have to ask the modeller about this.  It isn't something he has already got on the list, so we would need to fit it into the schedule.

Good news, thank you! I hope for combined purchase of them with the new BCK rules in the Spring
