ACE – 72560 – Soviet 152 mm gun m.1935 BR-2

Description:

Soviet 152 mm gun m.1935 BR-2

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a Soviet 152 mm gun M1935 (Br-2), a heavy gun produced in the late 30s in the Barrikady Plant in Stalingrad which featured a tracked carriage, a solution used in other Soviet heavy guns in the late interwars period.

The gun was produced in limited numbers and had two main drawbacks, one the short life of the barrel, and second the mobility problems. In mid 50s a wheeled carriage replaced the tracked one, extending the service life of the gun till the 70s.

Kit includes PE parts and decal sheet which allows up to three markings. The set includes also the transport carriage so the gun can be built in either moving position or firing position. Tracks are a mix of a link-and-length type for the gun and single rubber piece for the transport carriage wheels.
