Z (19) 2S7 Pion/Malka (Russia)

The 2S7 Pion (or Malka for the modernisation in the late 2010s) is a Soviet self-propelled 203mm cannon. First seen in 1975, the 2S7 is based on a new-design chassis using a number of common automotive components with the T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks. The xternally mounted 203mm gun on the hull rear has a range of 37,500 metres that can be extended to 55,000 metres by using rocket assisted projectile. The 2S7 has a crew of 14, seven carried in the Pion and 7 in an auxiliary vehicle.

The fantastic model is a 3D print by the excellent YK3D. A great build and a great painting moment 😁 Thanks Yevghenii 👍  I'm currently working on a little diorama for it.
