Tamiya 35093 - 1/35 Russian SU-122  [35093]

Victorious At Kursk

The Russian T34 tank is termed a masterpiece. Based on the same framework, the SU-122 showcased an entirely guaranteed, wedge-shape fighting compartment, and finished up being armed with a large 122mm howitzer. The designation of SU-122 arises from another; "SU" is fast for Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (in Russian) meaning self propelled and "122" is fast the armament. As Russian forces was in fact forced to retreat through relentless German blitzkrieg, big quantities of T34 alongside tanks ended up being certainly stated in planning of a counter attack. In addition, Russian army urgently developed another self-propelled tool, the SU-122. This tank showcased a newly developed 122mm self-propelled howitzer and its particular production were just for sale in October 1942 at Tankograd into the Ural hills. As the T34's framework and its mass production system was placed on SU-122, the very first test models was certainly amazingly completed with great price using essentially four weeks. From then on, 1st significant SU-122s was delivered directly to the Leningrad front side in January 1943. From July 1943, they saw action in the Battle of Kursk. The SU-122 featuring its 23 caliber 122mm howitzer fought and its own may against Panther and Tiger tanks and proceeded to superbly win a glorious triumph. In after success at Kursk, the SU-122 set the motivation where other tanks like the SU-85, SU-100, JSU-122, and JSU-152 was at reality built upon.
