1:72 PLZ83-130 Self-Propelled Howitzer [War Thunder]

Vehicle Introduction:

The PLZ83-130 was an export self-propelled artillery project launched by China North Industries Corporation in the late 1980s. It was based on the PLZ83 152mm self-propelled howitzer equipped by China at the time and was re-equipped with a Type 59-I 130mm cannon, while retaining most of the PLZ83's equipment. As it failed to secure export orders, the PLZ83-130 ultimately remained in the prototype stage and was not mass-produced. There is very little information available online about this vehicle, with only two public photos of prototypes being found:

Unlike its little-known real-world prototype, the in-game PLZ83-130 enjoys far greater recognition than the actual vehicle. As a Chinese vehicle in War Thunder, its biggest highlight is its firepower, which is quite powerful among vehicles of the same tier. However, its drawbacks are also significant: weak armor, poor fire control, and low battlefield survivability.

3D Model Introduction:

This tank model is scaled at 1:72. If other model scales are required, please adjust the print part size proportionally yourself. The model's turret can rotate, the gun barrel can elevate and depress, but the wheels are not movable. In principle, no glue is needed for model assembly. If the assembly is loose, glue can be used to assist bonding. The assembly method of this model is consistent with the previous Type 83 howitzer model:
