Tamiya 25111 - 1/35 Russian Tank Destroyer SU-122 - w/Weathering Master/Crew  [25111]

When confronted by the Sturmgeschutz II, during the German Blitzkrieg on the Eastern Front, the Russian armed forces quickly started to design unique attack weapons. The end result was a tank destroyer on the basis of the T-34 framework, that was armed with a 122mm howitzer. The vehicle ended up being known as the SU-122 with the letters "SU" standing for self-propelled and the quantity "122" representing the 122mm howitzer. Assault weapons had some benefits over tanks during the war. Considering insufficient a turret, the vehicle could possibly be designed with larger better weapons with reduced production costs. But the main drawback was the whole car needed to be moved to aim at a target. The SU-122 had been made out of December 1942 before the summer of 1944. Only 1,150 SU-122 tank destroyers were built during this time period. In July 1943, the car was used for the very first time into the battle of Kursk. This car set the building blocks for the SU-85 and SU-100 tank destroyers.
