Can anyone suply basic mesurments for 152,4 mm ammo for howitzer ML-20S mounted in this wheicle? I need dimensions for both granade and cartridge. I intend to build the interior on my model. Drawings for interior of ISU-152 that might come useful for modelers: 1. Cut trough 2. left side of fighting compartment: 3. right side of fighting compartment: 4. details of howitzer mount: 5. Howitzer ML-20S (1) 6. Howitzer ML-20S from: http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/WWII/
Sorry, can't help you, but those are some nice interior pictures! It looks very roomy, especially for a Russian SPG
I alread got them on our local modeling forum. Friend posted scans from Yugoslav manual for soviet ML-20 towed howitzer model 1937 (same gun but in normal towed version). Information and drawings are for BR-540 (tracer AP), OF-540 (HE) and G-530 (bunker buster) shells. Interestingly wheights of shells are all 40kg+ (only shell, without propellant charge and it's casing)
first thought that hit me was that it looks really roomy second thing: i like that howitzer manual. do you know what year it's from? third: is so true
