ZU-23-2 AA gun (Russia)

thingiverse

This is a 1:76 model of the attractive twin 23mm anti-aircraft mount from the Eastern Block, in a firing position. It originated in a file contributed to the SketchUp library by Archedyne et al., to whom my thanks. The design required significant changes to strengthen areas and make them printable, and I think that I have reached an acceptable compromise. After some experimentaiton, I decided that the only sensible approach was to split the gun mount down the middle, and to take the carriage separately, which is what is provided. Changes made using Sketchup and 3D Builder, as usual, checking with MiniMagics. I think that it is dimensionally correct; it certainly captures the 'feel' of this gun. I will try to produce a version of this gun in the towed position at some point. Getting near the end of the submission of recent models... I hope that they are of some interest. Enjoy!
