Description
From the manufacturer:
Experience a piece of military history with our meticulously crafted model of the SU-18 self-propelled gun. Originally commissioned in November 1929 by the RKKA and based on the T-18, the SU-18 was designed to be a formidable force on the battlefield. This model pays homage to the prototype, which was a modified version of the captured French Renault FT-17BS, retaining its design but featuring a distinctive truncated pyramid-shaped turret. Equipped with the powerful 76.2mm regimental gun model 1927, complete with a slotted muzzle brake to minimize rollback, this model captures the essence of the original SU-18.
Despite the initial decision to proceed with production in June 1930, the SU-18's design faced challenges due to its limited ammunition capacity and the constraints of the T-18's narrow-gauge chassis and high center of gravity. These limitations led to the project's eventual abandonment in favor of more advanced self-propelled gun designs, halting further development of the SU-18.
Our model kit brings this historical military vehicle to life, molded in two shades of tan plastic for added depth and realism. It also includes photo-etch parts and decals to ensure a detailed and authentic build. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a model collector, this SU-18 self-propelled gun model is a must-have addition to your collection.
