Authenticity and attention to detail

The SU-100 model is designed based on original archival plans and photographs, faithfully reproducing the construction details such as the characteristic hull silhouette, running gear, and detailed turret and gun features. The SU-100 was renowned for its excellent firepower thanks to its 100mm caliber cannon, and in the Zvezda kit you get a detailed replica of this element. The set also includes richly detailed body parts and realistically rendered tracks.
