BA-27M
« on: December 20, 2021, 09:40:53 PM »
Here's the test print of my latest 1:100 (15mm) digital model, a Soviet BA-27M armoured car of 1931.




There were still about 120 of them in service when the Germans invaded in 1941, so although it was an interwar design, it also counts as WWII equipment for the Soviets, and captured examples were also taken into German service.

It mounts the same turret as used on the T-18 tank, with a copy of the French Puteaux 37mm gun and a 7.62mm machine-gun.

The STLs are available at https://www.wargaming3d.com/pro.../ba-27m-armoured-car-1931/



And here it is in a coat of paint. It could probably do with a bit more panel highlighting; that overall 4BO green tends to look a bit bland in small scales.

All those rivets, those must've been a nightmare to place in the program you use.

A great looking model though!

Was this used at Khalkin Gol? Would love a 28mm version. Ba-3 and later are too powerful for that period.
Cheers,

I don't know for sure about Khalkhin Gol, but I'd say it was likely as they were in action during the Winter War.

Not too difficult really. I use Blender, and arrays make that sort of thing easy-peasy.
