My version of the US WW 2 T48 57 mm Gun Motor Carriage self-propelled anti-tank gun/tank destroyer.

Info from Wikipedia, somewhat edited.
******
The T48 57 mm gun motor carriage was a self-propelled anti-tank gun produced by the Diamond T company in 1943 for the United States. The design incorporated a 57 mm gun M1, a US production of the British Ordnance QF 6 pounder, mounted on an M3 half-track. A total of 962 vehicles were produced from 1942 to 1943.

It had originally been planned that Britain would receive all of the examples produced through Lend-Lease, intending to use them in the Western Desert, but by the time they arrived the campaign was over. The purpose-built M10 tank destroyer, armed with a 3-inch gun (and later a 17-pounder gun in British service) had begun to enter production, and as a result, the British transferred 650 half-tracks to the Soviet Union under the Soviet Aid Program. Britain retained 30 and the remainder were taken by the US; except for one kept by the U.S. Army, these British and American vehicles were converted back to standard M3 half-tracks. So it was never actually used in combat by the US.

However 650 of the T48 were sent to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program.
The Soviets called it the SU-57 (Samokhodnaya ustanovka 57); under this designation it served in Operation Bagration and other fighting on the Eastern Front during World War II.

The smallest hinges being quite big, especially now we can scale pieces down even further, and the sometimes weird hitboxes in the game made it very glitchy to make the upper door panels fold down so they are fixed I'm afraid.
