RSO PAK 40 and Su-122

[Mistel1]

Hello,

I'm planning to build a diorama with a disabled Steyr RSO Pak40 and a Su-122 (Not ISU-122), together with Soviet Assault troops. Can anybody give a hint on when (month, year) and where these two vehicles could have met? I hate anachronistic combinations in my dioramas. Thanks in advance...

look for late 43 on.. su122 was around around this time..

Thanks Manteuffel... This gives me Dec.1943, when RSO PAK was available. I was not sure about the time of Su-122.

I'm thinking of another alternative now: Instead of RSO, I can use a Marder IIIH, 23rd Pz. Div, Early spring 1943.

Regards...

why don't you try some meeting at kursk, i belive Su122 was available by then (i mean not with the RSO since it was issued b4 kursk)?

You know, i can't do it - my last diorama was set in Kursk, with german officers observing a destroyed T-34/43 with addition of a Panther D and a Kübelwagen.

But thanks for the help anyway. March 1943 with Su-122 and Marder III will be good, the only thing i have to decide being to use whether winter white or dark green on Su-122...
