The Trumpeter 1/35 Soviet 2S3 152mm Self-Propelled Howitzer kit provides a detailed option for those building Cold War military subjects.

Yes, the kit presents a good challenge for modellers familiar with 1/35 assemblies. Expect fine parts and careful painting to achieve the best finish.
Aftermarket barrels, metal tracks and resin detail sets exist for many 1/35 kits. These can enhance detail but check compatibility with this Trumpeter release before purchasing.
Use layered washes, dry brushing and pigment powders to simulate service wear and field grime. Apply weathering gradually to control the effect on the 1/35 scale surfaces.
