Tamiya 35093 1/35 SU-122 - Authentic WWII Scale Replica

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.

Accuracy and Modelling Detail for Enthusiasts

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.

Build and Display Features

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.

Using the SU-122 in Dioramas and Displays

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.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with some modelling experience. Careful trimming and painting are needed to bring out the weld and cast textures, but the parts fit is good for patient builders.
Traditional Soviet greens and weathering with washes and dry brushing highlight the cast surfaces. Use acrylic or enamel hobby paints designed for plastic kits and seal with a matte or satin varnish.
Yes. The SU-122 blends well with other 1/35 Tamiya subjects like the SU-85 or Soviet infantry sets to create cohesive World War II dioramas.
