Z (42) 1V119 Reostat (Russia)

The 1V119 Reostat is an airborne artillery battalion fire direction vehicle based on the BTR-D chassis. The vehicle is fitted with a turret equipped with NNP-21 and V-7 observation devices, three radio sets, a PAB-2AM aiming circle, three antennae mounts and DSP-30 and DAK-2 rangefinders. On the roof of the turret, the vehicle is also equipped with a PSNR-5K ground surveillance radar.

The very nicely 3D printed model is from GE Models. Only downside, the rolling trains and tracks are particularly fragile. To be manipulated with delicacy therefore... which is not my strongest capacity 😆 I opened the driver's hatch (driver from Alex Miniature) and added a lot of improvised external load shielding.
