1:100 2S15 Norov Tank Destroyer
A tank destroyer equipped with a radar-based fire control system and a 100 mm gun based on the 2S1 Gvozdika chassis.
During the 1970s, the Soviet Union identified new requirements for anti-tank weapons, which required self-propelled anti-tank guns to combine mobility, counterattacking firepower and accuracy, allowing them to hit targets at considerable distances from their firing positions. With these in mind, a decision was made by the USSR military–industrial complex on May 17, 1976, to give the task of designing a lightweight 100 mm-caliber self-propelled anti-tank gun to a group of enterprises. The self-propelled gun was supposed to include an automatic radar fire control system, and was given the code name "Norov"
The gun was designed to be based on the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer, the entire project being headed by the Yurga Machine-Building Plant, while the automatic radar fire control system would be built by the Tula-based Strela design bureau. Prototypes of the 2S15 would be built by KB Arsenal, but production did not finish before the deadline, which delayed the presentation of the gun to 1981, when the guns again failed to present themselves. Tests of the gun began in 1983, where problems and shortcomings were discovered, and were completed in 1985. However, by that time, with the introduction of new models of tanks, the 100 mm gun proved to be of little use against their intended targets. The Norov project was seen as unpromising, and was shut down by the USSR military-industrial complex in December 1985.
Printing Destructions:
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW PROGRAMS LIKE WINDOWS NATIVE 3D BUILDER TO REPAIR THE MODEL OR YOU WILL GET ERRORS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT ALLOW THE MODEL TO PRINT CORRECTLY
I have not broken this model up at all and it will fit on the old school Elegoo Mars printers just fine if you print it vertically. I prefer to print these on my Peopoly so not only can I print them in 1 piece I can print 12 at a time.
Aside from that, on printers like Elegoo Mars and Anycubic Photon, if you rotate the model 90 degrees with the end down, just add your supports and print away. The weapons are modeled onto the aircraft and once I get my camera situation sorted out I’ll post pics, prints just fine
For resin I prefer to use Siraya Tech Simple Clear mixed with Tenacious. I use 75-80 Simple to 20-25% Tenacious. This has not given me any problems since I started this mix and the only time I get failures now is when I am experimenting with things or forget to do my supports right.
