It was designed by engineer E.W. Wilniszczikov with the assistance\u003cbr\u003eof F.F. Pietrov, the king of Russian gun designers, who had designed the 122 mm gun.\u003cbr\u003eThis was an excellent howitzer with a range of 11,800 m, muzzle velocity of 515 m\/sec and\u003cbr\u003erate of fire of 5 or 6 rounds\/min. The SU-122 self propelled gun was similar in shape to the\u003cbr\u003eGerman StuG III armed with the short barreled 75 mm gun. With its bulky recoil mechanism\u003cbr\u003eand mantlet, the first production SU-122 was quite unsightly. The final production model, however,\u003cbr\u003efeatured refined semi spherical recoil mechanism and gun shield. The SU-122 assault\u003cbr\u003egun first saw action in the Battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943. SU-122s took part in the\u003cbr\u003erecapture of Orel to the north of Kursk and in the subsequent pursuit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and detailed 1\/48 assembly kit of the Russian SU-122 Assault Gun\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic detailing of 1943 production model includes weld marks on hull and impressive texturing of gun base\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctively shaped 122mm gun moves up, down, left and right after assembly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild with or without rear-mounted auxiliary fuel tanks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast chassis for added weight and realism\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank treads are assembly type, with straight upper and lower treads made of single piece for easy assembly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes decals to reproduce unit numbers and red star markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"The Hobby Centre","offers":[{"title":"NEW","offer_id":40829636870273,"sku":null,"price":41.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"USED","offer_id":40829636903041,"sku":"4950344325276","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/6936\/7681\/files\/7d6b019abe5b1358e43f5dcd04b43f59.jpg?v=1784224988","url":"https:\/\/www.hobcen.com\/products\/tam32527-tamiya-1-48-russian-tank-destroyer-su122","provider":"The Hobby Centre ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
