Yugoslavian M3a3 Pak 40 SPG - 28mm

thingiverse

This is an exceptional model, embodying a Yugoslav interpretation of the M3a3 tank provided by the British to the Yugoslavian partisans. The term "Yugoslav partisan" does not give them adequate credit, as by 1944 they were functioning as a fully operational army, and boasting two armored brigades. At least five M3a3 tanks underwent modifications involving the removal of the turret and the installation of a captured Pak40, as documented here: http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/Yugoslavia/light-tank-m3a3-with-7-5-cm-pak-40 I began with an accredited model of the M3a3 (an outstanding model), modified the rear piece (a separate file), and added tools to that same part. I created the side armor shields and modified Alainkif's excellent Pak 40. The hull MG is not included in the file, as it is too fragile, so I left a recess and used a short piece of paper clip to represent the barrel of the hull Browning MG.
