2S3 152mm SP howitzer Akatsiya (Russia)

This is a 1:100 design of the 2S3 Akatsiya SPH, with versions suitable for fdm and resin printing.  The 2S3 was a response to the M109, and entered service with Soviet forces in 1971, and was produced in large numbers and exported widely.

The 2S3 Akatsiya is fitted with the D-22 152 mm/L27 howitzer, which is a modified variant of the D-20 towed gun-howitzer.  It was produced in large numbers until production ceased in 1993. Also it was widely exported. The 2S3 Akatsiya is currently in service with a number of countries, including Russia.   The 2S3 Akatsiya uses a modified tracked chassis of the Krug (SA-4 Ganef) surface-to-air missile system (future offering).

Two variants of the design are offered to suit the requirements of resin and fdm printers.  In both cases the turret is a separate component to permit rotation.  The hull is integrated for resin printing (hollowed out), but the suspension is separate in the fdm file (locating lugs are provided).  The turret has a separate gun to permit setting at any required elevation.

The product is offered for personal, non-commercial use.  Derivative designs for personal use may be generated, but neither the original nor derivatives may be shared with others.  Attribution of the design is requested should printed models be exhibited or otherwise shared.  Models printed from this design or derivatives may not be sold commercially.
