ZU-23-2 AA gun (Russia)

thingiverse

This is a scaled-down model, 1:76, of an attractive twin 23mm anti-aircraft mount from the Eastern Bloc, set up to fire. It originated in a file contributed to the SketchUp library by Archedyne et al., and I'm grateful for their contribution. The design required significant modifications to strengthen areas and make it printable, and after some experimentation, I decided that splitting the gun mount down the middle was the only sensible approach, which is exactly what this model provides. Changes were made using Sketchup and 3D Builder, as always, with verification done through MiniMagics. I believe this model is dimensionally accurate; it certainly captures the essence of this gun. At some point, I'll attempt to create a version of this gun in its towed position.
