The Tamiya 35093 kit recreates the Russian SU-122, a notable WWII self-propelled gun built on the T34 chassis and armed with a 122mm howitzer. Historically the SU-122 proved effective against heavy German tanks such as the Panther and Tiger and earned a key role during the Battle of Kursk.
This 1/35 scale Tamiya model captures the SU-122's wedge hull and gun layout with attention to welded seams and cast surface textures. The parts are designed for model builders who want a historically faithful representation suitable for display and study.
The kit offers movable options including open or closed hatches and a gun that can be set at different elevations. A single tank crewman figure is included, and the model provides parts for fitting an optional spare fuel tank bracket to enhance realism.
Model makers can pair this SU-122 with complementary Tamiya kits like the SU-85 and Russian infantry sets to create wartime scenes. It works well in battlefield dioramas where accuracy and period detail are priorities.
