Trumpeter 01589 1/35 ASU-85 Mod.1970 Airborne Vehicle Kit  [TP01589]

Overview of the Trumpeter 01589 ASU-85 Mod.1970 Kit

The Trumpeter 01589 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Mod.1970 is aimed at hobbyists who like historically accurate and well engineered scale armour. The kit reproduces the ASU-85's light chassis and 85mm armament to give a faithful miniature representation.

Historical Role and Modelling Interest

Designed to support airborne troops, the ASU-85 combined mobility with a potent gun, and this model reflects those characteristics through careful detailing. It is an attractive subject for modellers focusing on Cold War equipment and troop support vehicles.

Workshop Hints and Finish Suggestions

During construction take care with thin parts and exposed interior surfaces. Panel seams and joins benefit from filling and sanding, and realistic weathering will enhance the final presentation for shelf or cabinet display.
