Miniart 1:35 - Stug. III 0-Series - Plastic Model Kit #35210
The German Sturmgeschütz III or StuG III assault gun was the country's 2nd most produced AFV of the WWII period (after the Sd Kfz 251). The StuG was designed to support the advancing infantry using direct fire. Early models were equipped with low-velocity 7.5 cm StuK 37 L/24 guns which were able to blast fortifications but could not penetrate armour well. After the Germans encountered the Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks those were substituted with high-velocity 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/43 and later 7.5 cm StuK 40 L/48.
Before the production began, five prototypes of the vehicle were produced in 1937 - the experimental '0' series. They used the chassis and running gear of the Panzer III and featured a mild-steel superstructure and Krupp’s 7.5cm StuK 37 L/24 cannon. These AFVs were tested at a number of training facilities and remained in use as training vehicles until 1942.

The Soviet self-propelled gun SU-85 (Samohodnaya ustanovka 85) entered production in 1943 when the Red Army needed a powerful gun to defeat the new German tanks such as the Tiger I and later the Panther. The SU-85 was equipped with a D-5T high-velocity 85mm antitank gun which was capable of penetrating the Tiger I from 1000 meters. 2,050 vehicles had been built until 1944 when the SU-85 was replaced by the SU-100 armed with an even more powerful 100mm D-10S gun.

Miniart 1:35 - German Field Gun FK39 (r) 7.62cm - Plastic model kit #35104
The German FK39 (r) was formerly a Russian piece, designed to replace the aging 76mm M1902/30 series and formally adopted by the Red Army in 1939. The initial production covered the bare requirements of the Red Army, but when the Operation Barbarossa started Soviet factories had to begin production in much greater numbers. Those Soviet guns that fell into German hands were turned against their former owner and were designated the 7.62cm FK39(r). The Germans modified the gun to use Pak 36 (r) ammunition.
Includes parts for one gun, four ammo boxes with shells, and photo etched parts.

Miniart 1:35 Soviet Artillery Crew on Maneuvere

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.
The kit contains 221 parts.
Includes parts for five figures and one anti-tank gun ZiS-3.

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.

£50.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - SU-85 Mod. 1944 (Early Production) with Interior - Plastic Model Kit #35204
The SU-85 was a Soviet self-propelled anti-tank gun produced in mid-1943 for fighting against the new and more advanced German Tiger and Panther tanks. The newer German armour was too thick to be penetrated by the older Soviet tanks such as the T-34 and KV-1. The number "85" stands for the bore of its armament, 85 mm D-5S gun, which was modified from the 85 mm anti-aircraft gun by Fyodor Petrov and was strong enough to penetrate the Tiger I from 1000 m. The advantages of the SU-85 also included excellent mobility and a standard commander's cupola that ensured good visibility. Though successfully used in combat until the end of the war, the SU-85 was replaced by the SU-100 which proved to be more effective.
The kit contains 934 parts.

£35.00 GBP
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.

Miniart 1:35 - ZIS-3 Gun Emplacement - Plastic model kit #36058
The 76-mm divisional gun M1942 (ZiS-3) was a Soviet 76.2 mm divisional field gun used during World War II. ZiS was a factory designation and stood for Zavod imeni Stalina ("factory named after Stalin"), the honorific title of Artillery Factory No. 92, which first constructed this gun.
The design works of ZiS-3 started in the end of 1940 on the Artillery Factory No. 92 under supervision of V. G. Grabin. There was no order for this work; moreover, at that time the attitude toward such development programs on the part of artillery commanders, such as Marshal Kulik, the head officer of Soviet artillery, was extremely negative. So the project was run purely on the initiative of Grabin, his design bureau and the Artillery Factory No. 92 head and his deputies. None of them informed state authorities about the ZiS-3 project.
After having been built, the first ZiS-3 gun was hidden from the watchful eyes of the authorities, who continued to ignore the Red Army's need for light and medium field guns. The authorities' main argument was the information that German heavy tanks carried exceptionally strong armour. In reality Germany did not have such tanks in early 1941 and this misinformation was the result of successful Nazi propaganda about the Neubaufahrzeug multi-turreted prototype tank.
When ZiS-3 guns were finally transferred to the Red Army under personal responsibility of Grabin and Artillery Factory No. 92 head staff, the combat experience showed the superiority of ZiS-3 over all other types of divisional level field guns. This allowed the ZiS-3 to be presented to a group of state authorities headed by Joseph Stalin and thus obtain all needed approval. After the demonstration was over Stalin said: "This gun is a masterpiece of artillery systems design." The total number of ZiS-3s produced exceeded 103,000 pieces.
The kit contains 151 parts.
Includes: models of ZIS-3, six ammo boxes w/shells and gun crew set.
