Trumpeter 01588 - 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Model 1956 Summary

The Trumpeter 01588 - 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Model 1956 brings the compact airborne gun into precise 1/35 scale, showing the vehicle's low profile and primary structural features. The kit is presented for model construction and realistic finishing.

Service Role and Model Relevance

The ASU-85 was built to support parachute troops with mobile firepower during rapid operations. This model reflects that purpose with attention to the hull lines and main armament placement, giving a faithful small-scale representation.

Construction Advice and Showcase Options

Expect a build that rewards patience: parts require trimming, test fitting and steady glue work. Once completed, the model looks strong on a display base or as part of a group of Cold War vehicles.

Clean up mould lines and dry fit subassemblies to check alignment before applying cement; this reduces gaps and improves the final fit.
Some modellers add aftermarket parts for extra detail, but the kit provides a solid base for accurate representation without mandatory upgrades.
Other 1/35 Cold War military kits and figure sets pair well, allowing you to build believable scenes of airborne operations or support units.
Standard plastic cement works for most joins; liquid cement can help with tight seams and hard-to-reach areas for a cleaner finish.
