Miniart 1:35 - Soviet Artillery Crew on Maneuvere - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35081
The Soviet anti-tank gun ZiS-3, also known as the 76-mm divisional gun M1942, was constructed at the Artillery Factory No. 92 in 1940 for the needs of the Red Army suffering enormous losses at the beginning of the Second World War. The gun was developed by V.G. Grabin, a Soviet artillery designer. The ZiS-3 design was based on the F-22USV cannon and the ZiS-2 anti-tank gun. Combining the F-22USV barrel and the ZiS-2 carriage, the ZiS-3 turned out to be far more effective compared to its prototypes. Unlike the F-22USV, the ZiS-3 was equipped with a muzzle brake which allowed to reduce recoil. Besides, its production was a lot easier and cheaper because most parts were manufactured by means of casting, and it was allowed to use materials lower in quality.
During the war, when fast production and large quantities were the highest priority, the ZiS-3 took part in combat without having been put to the tests. However, in the battlefield it proved its superiority over other anti-tank guns and later it was recognised by the authorities and obtained its official name - the divisional field gun model 1942. Due to its high combat effectiveness, the ZiS-3 had the largest share in the field gun production at wartime.

Includes parts for five figures and one anti-tank gun ZiS-3.

Miniart 1:35 - Soviet Naval Troops (Special Edition) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35094
Building a Soviet fleet was a national priority, but many senior officers were killed in purges in the late 1930s. When Germany invaded in 1941 and captured millions of soldiers, many sailors and naval guns were detached to reinforce the Red Army; these reassigned naval forces had especially significant roles on land in the battles for Odessa, Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Novorossiysk, Tuapse, and Leningrad. The Baltic fleet was blockaded in Leningrad and Kronstadt by minefields, but the submarines escaped. The surface fleet fought with the anti-aircraft defence of the city and bombarded German positions.
Through Lend-Lease, the U.S. and Britain gave the USSR ships with a total displacement of 810,000 tons. The composition of the Soviet fleets in 1941 included 3 aged battleships, 7 cruisers, 59 destroyer-leaders and squadron-destroyers, 218 submarines, 269 torpedo boats, 22 patrol vessels, 88 minesweepers, 77 submarine-hunters, and a range of other smaller vessels.
During the war, many of the vessels on the slips in Leningrad and Nikolayev were destroyed (mainly by aircraft and mines), but the Soviet Navy received captured Romanian destroyers and Lend-Lease small craft from the U.S., as well as the old Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Sovereign (renamed Arkhangelsk) and the United States Navy cruiser USS Milwaukee (renamed Murmansk) in exchange for the Soviet part of the captured Italian navy.
From the beginning of hostilities, Soviet Naval Aviation provided air support to naval and land operations involving the Soviet Navy. This service was responsible for the operation of shore-based floatplanes, long-range flying boats, catapult-launched and vessel-based planes, and land-based aircraft designated for naval use.

Miniart 1:35 - Soviet T-70 M & ZiS-3 w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35056
The Soviet T-70 was a light tank used during the Second World War. It was intended to replace two other tanks: the T-60 scout tank and the T-50 light infantry tank. The T-70 had a 45mm L/46 gun Model 38 and a coaxial 7.62mm DT machine gun. The maximum armour thickness was 60mm (on the turret front). The first tanks produced had a serious problem with the arrangement of engines, and were soon redesigned as the T-70M tanks, although they continued to be referred to as T-70. The production started in 1942 and ended in 1943, with 8,226 vehicles completed. The tank remained in service until 1948.
The ZiS-3 was a Soviet 76.2mm divisional field gun used during the Second World War. ZiS stood for "Zavod imeni Stalina" ("Factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of the factory which first constructed this gun.

Miniart 1:35 - USV-BR 76mm Gun Mod.1941 with Limber and Crew - Plastic model kit #35129
The USV was a Soviet 76 mm cannon issued in 1939 for the demands of the Red Army. The gun was classified as "divisional" because it was specifically meant for batteries under the direct command of division headquarters. Based on the previous F-22 design, the USV gun was also called the F-22 USV.
By 1940 over a thousand units were ready, and in 1941 when the plan for divisional guns was fulfilled, the production stopped, however not for long. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union the production was reopened at the Barrikady factory in Stalingrad and No. 92 Plant in Nizhny Novgorod. The relaunched model was designated the USV-BR. It was widely deployed in 1941, the first year of the Great Patriotic War. Over eight thousand units were built in the following two years, but by the end of 1942 the USV-BR was completely replaced by the simpler and cheaper ZiS-3.
The kit contains 329 parts.
Includes parts for a Soviet USV-BR gun with a 52-R-353M limber (Mod. 1942), five figures and six ammunition boxes with shells.
