This plastic model kit accurately replicates the original used by the Red Army both during WWII and later, as it became standard equipment in many Eastern Bloc countries.

Historical Information and Use

The 37mm anti-aircraft gun model 1939 (61-K) was developed in the USSR in the late 1930s and entered service just before the outbreak of World War II. It was an extremely versatile weapon, used both in stationary positions and mounted on armored vehicles and warships. It took part in numerous battles, including the defense of Moscow, Stalingrad, and Berlin. Due to its simple construction and effectiveness, the 61K type was widely exported and used by the armies of countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and China—even after the war, up until the late 1960s.
