The Tamiya 35093 represents the Soviet SU-122, a self-propelled gun based on the T34 running gear and fitted with a potent 122mm howitzer. In combat the SU-122 proved a capable opponent to German armour and was active at the Battle of Kursk.
Tamiya's 1/35 kit reproduces the SU-122's sloped hull and gun mount, with molded weld lines and textured cast-side panels for realistic weathering. The assembly gives model builders a convincing static replica suitable for museum-style presentation.
Options include mounting hatches open or shut and adjusting the gun angle for display. The kit supplies a tank crew figure and optional spare fuel tank stays so you can personalise the finished model.
For scene building the SU-122 pairs well with other Soviet pieces such as the SU-85 or infantry units to recreate frontline actions. Its silhouette and armament make it useful for both small vignettes and larger battlefield layouts.
