Hobby Boss 82938 Russian 130mm Coastal Defense Gun A-222 Bereg 1/72 is an exceptional plastic model kit representing the advanced Russian coastal artillery system A-222 Bereg in 1/72 scale. This model faithfully reproduces every detail of the original weapon, which was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and unveiled to the public in 1993 during the Abu Dhabi arms fair. The Bereg system is a unique solution that brought remarkable mobility and significant firepower to coastal defense by mounting a 130mm gun on the powerful MAZ-543 8x8 wheeled chassis.

The Hobby Boss model kit includes over 110 precisely crafted plastic parts, brand-new tooling accurately reflecting the vehicle's details, and realistic rubber tires. This model is dedicated to modern military enthusiasts – the A-222 Bereg system remains in service with Russia to this day, and since 2003 it has been operated by Russian units on the Black Sea, primarily by the 40th BRAP stationed in Novorossiysk. It stands out for its ability to engage both ships and land targets in a very short time – the powerful AK-130 gun can fire up to 12 rounds per minute within just a few minutes from enemy detection.
