Russian 2S1 Self-Propelled Howitzer 1/35 Trumpeter

The 2S1 Gvozdika is a Soviet 122mm self-propelled howitzer that resembles the PT-76 but is essentially a version of the MT-LB APC, mounting the 2A18 howitzer. “2S1” is its GRAU designation. In the Russian Army it is commonly known as Gvozdika. The 2S1 is fully amphibious with very little preparation, and once afloat is propelled by its tracks. A variety of wider tracks are also available to allow the 2S1 to operate in snow or swamp conditions. It is NBC-protected and has infrared night-vision capability.

Trumpeter often recommends using Tamiya X and XF paints – click here to purchase!
