Trumpeter 02331 Russian 100mm Anti-tank Gun M1944 (BS-3) (1/35)

The plastic model kit Trumpeter 02331 Russian 100mm Anti-tank Gun M1944 (BS-3) in 1/35 scale is a high-quality replica of the Soviet anti-tank gun from the Second World War and the early postwar years. This kit is aimed at modelers who wish to enrich their dioramas with realistic and highly detailed artillery equipment used by the Red Army.

The BS-3 is a Soviet 100mm caliber anti-tank gun developed in 1944. It was an essential element of fire support during key battles in the final phase of World War II, especially during offensives in Eastern Europe. It was distinguished by its great firepower, effectiveness against German tanks—including the Tiger and Panther—as well as its versatility, being able to engage both fortifications and field artillery targets.

This model by Trumpeter faithfully reproduces the original BS-3 design. The kit includes finely detailed parts made from high-quality plastic, allowing precise replication of the carriage, barrel, gun shield, and recoil mechanism details. The box also contains small parts imitating operational details and accessories used by the crew. The kit does not include photo-etched parts, metal barrels, or resin accessories, which makes it an excellent choice for both intermediate modelers and ambitious beginners wishing to try their hand at artillery kits on their own.
