Maresal M05 3D model originally modeled in cinema4D. Detailed enough for close-up renders. The zip-file contains bodypaint textures and standard materials.
In 1942, Major Nicolae Angel, Captain Gheorghe Sambotin, and Lieutenant-Colonel Konstantin Giulai engaged in the development of self-propelled guns, which was to replace the Pantssergery imported from Germany. For the new self-propelled gun was supposed to use the usual tank chassis, where the body itself was installed with weapons. The chassis was supposed to be used either from the R-2 or from the T-60, 30 of which were captured on the Eastern Front in 1941-1942 and used for crew training. For more effective use on the chassis it was supposed to install a 122-mm howitzer Putilov-Obukhov model 1904/1930 and machine gun ZB-53, paired with it, and close the gun from all sides with a four-sided shield with armor thickness of 20-30 mm. The self-propelled gun was called "Marshal" (rum. Mareşal), and for encoding it was designated by the letter M.
The first prototype of future Maresal M05 3D model received the M-00 index, its construction began in the summer of 1943 at Malaksa, under the general Konstantin Gulay and plant director Radu Veres. The work went quickly, and already on July 30 a prototype was submitted for tests conducted at the site in Suditi. By October, released three more experimental self-propelled guns, designated M-01, M-02 and M-03. The tests did not lead to the desired result: the crew of two people was insufficient, and the 122-mm howitzer could not be installed. As a result, further work was refused.
The Germans came to the aid of the Romanians, who recommended the German gun PaK 40. The new self-propelled gun model, the M-04, inherited the old chassis, but got the engine from the Hotchkiss H-39 light tank, the 75-mm anti-tank gun Resita M1943 and more streamlined armor case, like in "Hetzer". Marshal Antonescu even presented her drawings to Adolf Hitler, who spoke about the Romanian car quite commendable. The construction of the prototype M-04 began in November 1943 and was completed in January 1944. For the Romanian project, German specialists were specially singled out under the personal order of Hitler, who was interested in replenishing the Romanian army with the latest weapons. The trials began in February 1944 at the Suditi test site and were conducted in the presence of OKH (German High Command) representatives. With the participation of engineers from Alkett and Vomag, during March-May 1944, two more self-propelled self-propelled guns with indices M-05 and M-06 were built, which represented a unique symbiosis. The chassis was Soviet, the body was Romanian, the engine was French (from H-39), the gearbox and trucks were Czechoslovak (CKD), the radio station and optics were German. On comparative tests with the StuG III, held from July 21 to August 23, 1944, the Romanian self-propelled gun showed superior mobility with similar weapons and low silhouette, second only to booking and overall security.
In May 1944, an order was issued for 1,000 self-propelled guns (200 of type M-05 and 800 of type M-06), but as early as March they planned to manufacture a special “zero” series M-05 out of 10 cars, as well as the first (40 cars) and second series (50 cars). The first self-propelled guns intended to be obtained in June, and then the production rate was supposed to be increased to 100 vehicles per month (according to the plan, 32 anti-tank self-propelled battalions would appear, plus the first training battalion as part of the 2nd tank division existed. However, production plans were violated by strategic raids Allied bombers, which is why the delivery date of the first ACS was postponed to November 1, 1944.
Additionally, an agreement was signed between the Romanian and German command, providing for the delivery of 20-30 self-propelled guns to the Wehrmacht and even the deployment of their licensed production using units from the self-propelled gun "Hetzer". However, before the conclusion of an armistice with the USSR, not a single machine left the walls of the enterprise. On August 29, the construction program was suspended and then completely discontinued. The pre-production M-05s, which were at different stages of assembly, were confiscated by Soviet troops and soon sent for scrapping.
