Advice for Soviet armor

Post by SEBa111 »

Hi. I want to do a very specific question

Can a T 34 76 tow a F 22 Divisional gun whitout limber?

The thing is that I want to build a diorama whit a Revell T 34 (03244), A "artillery" gun from ICM (35702) and some tank riders from ICM (35640), all attached to the T 34. If I need a limber I can buy the Miniart one (35115)

Thanks

I think the gun needs a limber to be towed by a t34 not completely sure though.

anything is possible. In a pinch a chain could be used as a short connection. It would slap around a bit, but the objective could be achieved. Just because a picture cannot be found doesn't make it impossible.

I was thinking, the kit comes whit towing cables, maybe attach them to the hull and to the gun itself

I don't want to be a spoilsport, but it's highly dubious that a T-34 would tow an artillery piece, since they don't have a towing hitch in the rear that's compatible with limbers or artillery pieces.

To answer your question though, if they found a way to do it, they wouldn't necessarily need a limber for it.

Well... I found a Soviet 152 howitzer ( Trumpeter 02324) ..... Maybe I add It instead of the 76 gun... If Im going to screw history, make it double.... Or bigger, in this case

Could always portray it has a rescue attempt.....pulling the gun out of a nasty predicament.

Well, lets see, It can figth both in Stalingrad (42) or leningrad(43) . If I do stalingrad, It could evacuate a "front line" artillery, or if its Leningrad, It could carry artillery to the growing front

I think the evacuation sounds cool, whether or not it happened in real life it does not matter. It would be a cool diorama
