This vehicle is fully painted in Olive Drab scheme, and then over painted with Winter Camouflaged scheme. This is to simulate real life practice when vehicles were painted over manually using water based paint (or chalk paste). Advantage of this kind of camouflage is that the chalk can be washed away in spring/summer to restore the original colour scheme. This model is painted with small white dabs as in this SU-76 photo. SU-101 - was an experimental vehicle designed by Uralmash design office in autumn 1944 to spring 1945 to replace the SU-100. Based on the T-44, it was special designed to deal with the ever increasing length of guns on vehicles to counter thick German armour, which make tank destroyers and self-propelled guns difficult to maneuver in cities. The tank had engine mounted sideways and in front, significantly shortened the overall length of the vehicle, which also provided additional protections for the crews. The crew compartment was also had more room for additional ammunition. The SU-101 carried an 100-mm D-10 tank gun. Although successfully passed factory tests with high performances, it was not mass produced as WWII came to an end. A surviving vehicle was displayed in Kubinka Armor Museum, Russia. |
