The Trumpeter 02334 - 1/35 Scale Soviet D-74 122mm Field Gun kit recreates a notable postwar artillery piece. Introduced in the late 1950s for Soviet forces, the D-74 offered flexible fire roles and still appears in service lists of countries such as Sri Lanka, Egypt and Pakistan.
The D-74 played a significant role during the Cold War era and its deployment across different theatres shows its practical design. Reproducing it at 1/35 scale highlights the mechanical features that defined Soviet artillery construction.
With more than 240 parts and one photo-etched detail, this kit uses newly tooled components and rubber tyres to boost authenticity. The nine sprues keep parts organised, and the build is meant to engage modellers with some prior experience.
The completed model spans 303 mm long by 78 mm wide, providing a commanding presence on a display board. Its accurate detail and historical relevance make it a solid choice for collectors and diorama makers alike.
