Tamiya 35348 SU-76M 1/35 Scale WWII Self-Propelled Gun Kit  [35348]

Tamiya 35348 - 1/35 Scale SU-76M Russian Self-Propelled Gun

The Tamiya 35348 kit presents a faithful miniature of the Russian SU-76M self-propelled gun from World War II, capturing the vehicle's utilitarian silhouette and open-top fighting compartment. Entering service in 1943, the SU-76M carried the 76.2mm ZiS-3 gun and balanced firepower with a simple, rugged design that this model reproduces in scale form.

Background and Modelling Interest

This version of the SU-76M served widely on the Eastern Front, and the kit recreates key details that appeal to historical modellers. The open fighting compartment is modelled to show interior detail, while the movable gun and assembly-style tracks improve poseability and realism. The set also includes three figures and two decal schemes for personalised finishes.

Assembly Notes and Display Use

At 146mm long in 1/35 scale, this kit suits builders who enjoy precise assembly and weathering work. The build requires careful fitting and paint planning, making it best for hobbyists with prior modelling experience. Finished, the SU-76M makes a compact but impressive addition to dioramas or shelf displays.
