Trumpeter 02343 1/35 Soviet 122mm Howitzer M-30 Collector Kit  [TP02343]

Trumpeter 1/35 Scale 122mm Howitzer M1938 M-30 Kit

The 122mm M1938 howitzer, or M-30, was a principal Soviet divisional gun during the Second World War and later spread to many armed forces. It became valued for its straightforward design and field reliability.

Model Detail and Background

This Trumpeter 1/35 kit contains in excess of 310 parts, including a metal gun barrel and two photo-etched items to capture crisp small-scale detail. The model portrays the box-section split-trail carriage and hydraulic recoil mechanism true to the prototype.

Skill Level and Final Presentation

New tooling and fine detail make this kit a rewarding build that needs good alignment and a steady hand. The rubber tyres and detailed breech are highlights that improve the overall authenticity when painted and weathered.
