The Trumpeter 01026 plastic model kit depicting the Russian 9P140 Transporter-Erector-Launcher vehicle, which is part of the 9K57 Uragan rocket system in 1/35 scale, is a unique offering for military modelers wishing to recreate modern Russian artillery from the Cold War era and the present day. This highly detailed kit replicates the heavy BM-27 Uragan self-propelled multiple rocket launcher, which was designed in the USSR and entered service at the end of the 1970s.

The 9P140 Uragan was used by the Soviet army and, later, the Russian army and the armed forces of other countries of the former Eastern Bloc. These systems saw combat in numerous conflicts—in particular, the Afghan and Chechen wars. The Uragan is a mobile launcher capable of firing 16 rockets of 220 mm caliber from a special eight-wheeled ZIL-135 chassis. The vehicle cabin is protected against NBC contamination, ensuring the safety of a four-man crew.
