3D model description

Some time ago my parents were at a military museum in Poland. They showed me some photos afterwards and among them was a vehicle called 8U128 (apparently also known as 2P19). It is a ballistic missile carrier, or Transporter-Erector-Launcher for the R-11 rocket. This had the Nato codename Scud-A. The chassis is based on ISU-152K apparently, although some sources just say IS-2. So yes, the very first Scud was carried on a tank.
Even though it was able to carry nuclear-capable missiles, this vehicle was in the armies outside the main soviet army. The GDR's and Polish people's armies had them as well for example.

And so when I saw that a tank carrying a ballistic missile that was not the result of some alternate history designs actually existed, I knew I needed that in my collection.
The big problem was that hardly any 3D models exist of this thing. Not to mention any 3D printable ones. There are a few game-ready models out there, but they want $$$ for those, and I can't have that! So I made my own! Well, based on an existing printable ISU model, but the whole superstructure and missile are my own work. As you can see, I made it so that the missile can be lifted up. The missile can also be removed.
Now, it probably is inaccurate a little bit here and there because I had to work off of photos and technical drawings, and normally there are some more tubes around the missile to stabilize it (those I deemed to hard to print) but once I upload this to Thingiverse, it will be the only freely available 3D printable one out there! So if you got complaints, do it better! >:D

Like the model it is based on, the 3D model is in 1/100 scale. My print is 1/72.
