Trumpeter 05575 Soviet project 704 SPH (1/35) – Plastic self-propelled gun model

Trumpeter 05575 Soviet project 704 SPH in 1:35 scale is a unique plastic model kit depicting a Soviet prototype heavy self-propelled gun from the end of World War II. The vehicle, known by its factory designation Object 704, was developed in 1945 based on the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks. It stood out for its low silhouette (only 2240 mm in height) and powerful armament—a 152.4 mm ML-20SM gun without a muzzle brake, providing enormous firepower. The gun had a range of up to 13,000 m, and the vehicle was also equipped with two DShK 12.7 mm machine guns.

Only a single prototype of Object 704 was built, and it never entered mass production. It was an attempt to create a self-propelled gun resistant to enemy fire, featuring thick, highly sloped armor. This project fits into the innovative Soviet engineering work of the late World War II period, showcasing the USSR's ambition to develop advanced armored vehicles.
