Detailed Trumpeter 1/35 Soviet 122mm M1938 Howitzer Kit

The M-30 122mm howitzer was a core divisional gun in the Soviet arsenal during WWII and continued in service with several nations afterward. Known for dependable performance, it became a common sight on mid 20th century battlefields.

Scale Modelling and Context

Trumpeter's 1/35 rendition offers more than 310 parts, featuring a metal barrel and two etched brass pieces to lift small details. The kit reproduces the box-section split-trail carriage and the hydraulic recoil system found on the original gun.

Construction Tips and Presentation

The accurate moulding and newly designed parts make this an engaging but exacting project. Rubber tyres and a finely modelled breech demand close attention during assembly and make for a convincing finished model when weathered.
