122mm M-30 Howitzer

Model Description:
This download contains a highly detailed model of the 122mm M-30 Howitzer. Documentation and references for the real vehicle were rigorously studied to make the model as geometrically accurate as possible, except in the cases where printability would have to be sacrificed (such as internal mechanism details).
 
The model is designed for resin 3D printing comes natively in 20mm (1/72) scale and includes a supported version for this size.
 
The file is designed to be detailed enough to hold up well at larger scales however, including the common 28mm (~1/56) scale. Larger scales will have to be manually supported at present, however a future goal of TCR designs is to include supported files for larger scales, as well as a less-detailed version designed to function on FDM (filament) printers.
 
The model at its native scale took roughly 4 hours to print on an "Anycubic Photon Mono 4K" printer and has the following dimensions:
Length - 2.75" (70mm)
Width - 1.52" (39mm)
Height - 0.98" (25mm)

Historical Description:
The 122mm M1938 (M-30) howitzer was a medium artillery fielded by the Soviet Union during. The M-30 was the cannon used in the SU-122 assault gun but could also be configured as a crew-operated standalone weapon. Roughly 19,000 M-30s were built between 1939 and 1960. The cannon had a firing range of 12km.
 
In Armored Advance:
In armored advance the M-30 provides a large cannon without having to invest in a full armored vehicle. The howitzer may fire high-explosive to combat infantry units effectively, in a way that vehicle-mounted MGs cannot match. At short range the howitzer may also fire anti-tank munitions which permit it to deal significant damage to enemy armor in certain situations, though being a field gun, this is not a primary function.
