Trumpeter 09505 1/35 Soviet SU-101 SPA Prototype Kit  [TP09505]

Overview of the Trumpeter 09505 1/35 SU-101 SPA

The Trumpeter 1/35 Soviet SU-101 Self-Propelled Artillery kit recreates a World War II prototype that never saw frontline service. This scale rendition focuses on the vehicle's conceptual design, making it a useful study piece for modellers interested in prototype armoured vehicles and late war developments.

Construction Notes and Display Tips

This model rewards careful builders who enjoy crisp assembly and accurate detailing. The 1/35 scale provides room for realistic surface detail but requires precise glueing and cleanup of parts. Finished models display well on shelves or dioramas and showcase modelling technique and weathering skills.

Historical Context and Realism

The SU-101 emerged from efforts to improve Soviet mobile firepower in the later stages of the conflict. Although not produced, the design influenced subsequent thinking about armoured fire support, and this kit helps modellers explore that design thread.
