A plastic kit of the Soviet SU-76i self-propelled gun in 1:72 scale, and that in the commander version with an observation cupola in the roof of the fighting compartment. The set belongs to the extensive range that the Ukrainian brand Military Wheels devotes to Soviet and German equipment of the Second World War.
The SU-76i is an unusual case of equipment that one side built from the vehicles of the other. On the captured chassis of German Panzer III tanks and Sturmgeschütz III self-propelled guns, of which plenty were left over mainly after Stalingrad, a new enclosed casemate was built in a Soviet repair shop and a 76.2 mm gun was mounted inside. The vehicle thus got armor and running gear of German design with Soviet armament. The commander version was given an observation cupola from the Panzer III tank in the roof and radios in addition, which was paid for with a smaller stock of ammunition: through it the commander could see his surroundings without having to open a hatch. The vehicles reached the units in the autumn of 1943 and were already withdrawn from the front line to training during the following year.
The running gear of German origin has small parts, so dry-fit it and glue it in drops. Finish the fighting compartment and the cupola before you close the roof. A dark wash in the welds and the rivets sits well on the uniform dark green finish; traces of repainting, where the original finish shows through the Soviet green, suit captured equipment nicely, as does a dusty underside with smeared mud at the tracks.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
