Description

Tamiya made 1/35 Russian Tank Destroyer SU-85- w/Weathering Master Set (89797) Tanks Military Series assembly kit

During WWII, the Soviet built a self-propelled gun on the basis of the T-34 framework. The self propelled weapon was named the SU-85. The "SU" abbreviation means "Samokhoknaya Ustanovka" which means "self-propelled gun" and the 85 stands for the 85mm D-5T weapon. The SU-85 had a crew of four men. Even though the SU-85 had been a self propelled gun, it had been worth the title tank destroyer. The tank was deployed in battle in December 1943 following the liberation of Kiev. The Russian military included 21 SU-85 automobiles into an artillery battalion beneath the control of corps and 31 into an artillery regiment in order for the tank army. By the mid 1940s, the Su-85 had been changed by the SU-100, which carried a 100m gun.
