Soviet SU-100 Tank Destroyer

Trumpeter 1/16. Tilaustuote. . Toimitus 2-3 viikkoa.

It was developed in 1944
as an improvement to the SU-85, built on the same chassis as the
T-34-85 tank. It was designed and built at the UZTM in Yekaterinburg.
The SU-100 quickly proved itself to be among the best self-propelled
anti-tank guns of World War II, able to penetrate 125 mm of vertical
armor from a range of 2,000 m  and the sloped 85 mm front armor of the
German Panther from 1,500 m . After intensive testing with different
models of 100 mm gun Soviet engineers approved the D-10S gun for mass
production. The hull of SU-100 had major improvements over the SU-85;
the thickness of the front armour was increased from 45 to 75 mm , and
the commander's workplace was made in a small sponson on the right side
of the hull; combined with the commander's cupola this greatly improved
the commander's effectiveness. For better ventilation two ventilator
units were installed, instead of only one as in the SU-85. Mass
production began in September 1944.
