5x 2S1 Gvosdika Self propelled gun
This Soviet-era self-propelled howitzer comes equipped with a 122mm 2A31 howitzer, and is famed for its ability to operate over a variety of terrains. The 2S1 was produced from 1971 until 1991 and is still in service today. This vehicle has seen combat in Eastern Europe, Northern Africa, Western Asia and Central Asia.

5x 2S3 Akatsiya Self propelled gun
This self-propelled artillery unit was developed by the Soviet Union as a competitor to the United States M109. With over 1,500 units produced from 1970 through 1975, the 2S3 Akatsiya was able to survive the dissolution of the Soviet Union and remain a vital tool in battle. The vehicle has primarily been available only to the Russian federation, but some units were exported during the 1990s. With a long service history, the 2S3 has primarily faced combat in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

Cleaning Information
Some part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features during the printing process. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain.  It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured.

Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin.  
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
Use dedicated model sprue cutters to remove parts to minimise the risk of damage to parts.
