Kit Description for Trumpeter 01588 - 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Model 1956

The Trumpeter 01588 - 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Model 1956 presents the Soviet airborne gun at 1/35 scale, emphasising the vehicle's compact profile and key structural details. The parts are arranged for careful assembly and realistic finishing.

Operational Role and Scale Relevance

Intended to support parachute formations, the ASU-85 combined mobility and a credible fighting arm. This kit mirrors those design priorities through scale-accurate hull contours and external features that reflect the original vehicle.

Workmanship and Presentation Notes

Builders should prepare for precise fitting and small component work, which rewards careful preparation and painting. When complete, the model makes a fine addition to a civilian or military display cabinet or a themed diorama.

Consult photos and reference books on Cold War Soviet armour to guide marking choices and weathering that suit the ASU-85's operational context.
