This is a Matilda ?



This is a Lee Grant ?



But is THIS a SU 22 ?.......(Or something that looks like it ?

Cheers - Phil

Matilda, check.
Lee/Grant, check.

The last one looks like a SU 85 or SU 100. The SU 122 looks like this:



Same chassis, different gun and mantlet.

Oldenbau techno meant an SU-122,
Too many late night modelling sessions wearing out his fingers.

Many thanks, OBA...

I notice now that Ithoriel mentioned a SU 122 in the Edinburgh Works, in the very first post....
Mark's e'mail mentions an SU 22... Which is what I've been trying to find a reference for.  ......That may well have been a typo.

I'll check with Mark, or hope he spots this.  

Cheers - Phil

Hi Phill

Yes that really is a Typo. My brain thinks faster than I type (I T y p e  V e r y   v e r y  s l ow  l y)

It should be IS 122. 

Eh ??

Is that an IS-2 ?.....
Or a SU 122 ?......

Techno,

Russian self-propelled guns are called "SU-xxx" where the 'SU' stands for the Russian: Samokhodnaya Ustanovka - self-propelled carriage. Usually they are based on a T60, T34 or KV chassis.

The exception being those on IS (Iosef Stalin) tank chassis which are ISU.

Help any?

Er....

If they've got them in Cardigan.

I think I'll buy one of the IS-2s and one of the SU 122s.




Is this an IS -2 ? (Probably the only one I'll have trouble identifying.....The Matilda and Lee Grant look fairly distinctive, as does the SU 122.)

Cheers - Phil

Yep dat be IS-2...

My second post on the linked page below shows the SU 122 model. If you click on the photo it will enlarge so that you can see the kind of detail you will be getting.

Thanks, both !

Well........
'Bless' my socks !
I knew I bought a tiny little book about tanks, decades ago...But hadn't got a clue where it had been 'hidden'....So I hadn't bothered to look for it.
Ferreting around for something completely different yesterday afternoon.....I found it !

Collins/Jane's "Tanks of World War II".

I shall take it into 'The Works' this morning.....and I won't even have to remember what these tanks Mark wants, look like.....I'll be able to look at the little pictures in the book.
HUZZAH !

Cheers - Phil

Partial success, Mark !

I've got you two of the armoured cars.
One IS-2.....
And one Matilda.

They definitely didn't have the Lee/Grant or the SU 122.

I'll see if I can bully one of the others into getting them for you.  ...and I'll reimburse them...postage, as well.
(They did have one 'boaty thing'.......Sorry if I'm being too technical here....I know not everyone on the forum is 'au fait' with vehicles from WWII as I am !  )

Cheers - Phil

Is that the flatbottomed boaty thing or the roundbottomed boaty thing? Inquiring minds want to know.

Or is this line of questioning best reserved for the totty thread?

Well...It's a  flatbottomed boaty thing as far as I can tell.
Mind you....That may just be down to getting the model to fit in the packaging.....Which is flat ! 

Cheers - Mr Expert.

I got one Grant and an unidentified Russian thing, wiv a Russian (not Soviet) flag.

If that's the 4wd thing it's 1990's, and tip to all - READ the front of the box. It actually tells you what it be.
