Trumpeter 02342 1/35 Soviet 52-K 85mm M1943 Late Version Scale Kit  [TP02342]

Introduction to the 52-K 85mm M1943 Late Version

The Trumpeter 1/35 Trumpeter 02342 kit captures the Soviet 52-K 85mm Air Defense Gun M1943 Late Version in scale, emphasising authentic shapes and component detail. It targets builders who enjoy realistic military subjects and fine assembly work.

Significance and Authenticity

The 52-K 85mm was central to Soviet anti-aircraft efforts with performance that challenged enemy aircraft and lighter armoured threats. This late version model mirrors the wartime modifications and retains proportions true to reference photographs.

What to Expect When Building

Expect a build that rewards careful preparation: small fittings and alignment-sensitive parts are common. The kit is well suited to painters who plan to add washes, chips and rust effects to bring the piece to life.

How It Sits in a Collection

Finished models make a strong visual statement on any shelf or within a themed display, pairing well with vehicle and figure kits from the same era. The level of detail supports close-up viewing and photography.
