Trumpeter 07129 Soviet SU-152 Self-propelled Heavy Howitzer Early 1/72

Discover the highly detailed plastic model kit Trumpeter 07129 Soviet SU-152 Self-propelled Heavy Howitzer Early in 1:72 scale. This is a faithful miniature of the early production Soviet SU-152 self-propelled heavy howitzer, which played a key role during World War II. The model represents the vehicle used by the Red Army, armed with a powerful 152 mm howitzer mounted on the KV-1S tank chassis, ensuring historical authenticity and realistic detail.

The SU-152 was introduced in response to the need for breaking through German fortifications and combating enemy heavy tanks. It took part in battles such as Kursk and in operations to liberate Soviet territories between 1943-1945. Thanks to its tremendous firepower and exceptional effectiveness against vehicles like the Tiger or Elefant, it earned the nickname Zveroboy ("beast killer").

Precisely crafted hull, gun, and running gear details allow for a highly realistic final effect. Due to the relatively small number of parts and thoughtful design, the assembly difficulty is rated as 2/5. The set does not include glue or paints.
