Trumpeter 01589 1/35 ASU-85 Mod.1970 Scale Modelling Kit  [TP01589]

Introducing the Trumpeter 01589 ASU-85 Mod.1970 Kit

The Trumpeter 01589 1/35 ASU-85 Airborne Self-Propelled Gun Mod.1970 is a precise scale reproduction that will appeal to modellers concentrating on period armour. The kit conveys the ASU-85's compact silhouette and 85mm armament with neat surface features and fittings.

Context and Collector Interest

The ASU-85 enhanced airborne capability by adding a direct-fire weapon that was light enough for airdrop and airlanding operations. This kit reproduces those design priorities and makes a historically interesting subject for display or research builds.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

Expect a build that rewards patience, especially around the turret and exposed interior. Finished and weathered correctly the model looks convincing in a display case or as part of a Cold War diorama.
