SU-85 Soviet SPG. MINIART 35187

SU-85 Soviet SPG, mid production, with interior. Unassambled plastic model kit.

The SU-85 (Samokhodnaya ustanovka 85) was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during World War II, developed on the basis of the T-34 medium tank and the SU-122 assault gun. Produced from August 1943 through July 1944. The 85-mm D-5S gun allowed the SU-85 to effectively hit enemy medium tanks at distances of more than 1,000 meters and was able to destroy a Tiger tank from 1000 meters out, proving much capable against the newer German tank designs.
