This is a 28mm model of a Soviet Early War Self-Propelled Gun, the SU-12. This was an early effort to provide motorized artillery support to the Red Army by mounting a model 1927 76mm Infantry gun onto the chassis of a Gaz AAA lorry.
There isn't a lot of on-line resources on this SPG; here is a bit of its story
http://www.o5m6.de/redarmy/su_12.php
It has shown up in some on-line war games I have played, and it intrigued me.
Using Richard Humbles guide to scoring AFVs for Bolt Action, it would cost 65 points for regular - 15 points for the 6+vehicle and 50 points for the light howitzer.
The pic is of my test print. I changed the final final to combine the armoured roof onto the ull - I had originally made it a separate file but I wasn't happy with the fit post-print so made it one piece.
The axles are marked "UP" and "R-UP". The "UP" means that edge goes up into the slot on the underside of the chassis. The two marked with the "R" are for the two rear axles. There is an alignment line on the hull underside and the axles to ensure you get them on right.
