SU-122 ASSAULT GUN / TANK DESTROYER (Tamiya)

This gun kills nazi scum.

This is the 1:35 scale SU-122 kit from Tamiya (circa 1986).

It was completed in 11 working days. It is shown in winter camo in the spring of 1944. A tree and metal straps and a chain have been added.

The SU-122 is a 122mm M30S howitzer mounted on a T34 tank chassis. Designed by F. Petrov, some 1150 were built  in 1942-1944 at UZTM (Uralmashzavod – Uralsky Machine Building Factory), for the fight against nazi scum. It was mostly used as a very effective assault gun against heavily-fortified positions.
