Response to Casual Observer ! With Both STZ Kits from C.H.DML.

Erik, the short answer is I don't think so...

From the CAD images posted, it appears this kit is based on a later UVZ hull (Nizhnii Tagil = Zavod No.183). If you junk the German crap you have a nice hull with late stamped roadwheels, suitable for a hex turret or earlier T-34-85 turret.

This hull (I suspect common with #6424) is okay, if not great as a standard UVZ hull. They were abundant, and therefore fair game for German improvisation.

The STZ tanks were important in the development of the T-34, and critical in 1942 in the context of the war, but in truth STZ only built a small fraction of T-34s. DML's kit #6388 is typical of maybe 2000 tanks from some 30,000 76mm T-34s built. Odds that your Beute would be on an STZ hull are slim.

HTH
Scott
