Trumpeter 09505 Soviet SU-101 SPA 1/35 – Plastic Self-Propelled Tank Model Kit

The Trumpeter 09505 Soviet SU-101 SPA model in 1/35 scale is a high-quality replica of a Soviet self-propelled gun, making it a true treat for both WWII military enthusiasts and advanced modelers. The Trumpeter brand is renowned in the modeling world for its precision detail reproduction, and this kit is an excellent demonstration of that quality.

The SU-101, a Soviet prototype self-propelled anti-tank gun, was developed at the end of World War II. The project was created in the Uralvagonzavod design bureau between 1944 and 1945, based on the T-44 tank chassis. Despite promising performance results, the SU-101 never entered mass production—only a few prototypes were built. The main goal was to improve mobility and crew protection compared to earlier vehicles like the SU-85 or SU-100. A distinctive feature was the placement of the fighting compartment with the powerful 100 mm D-10S gun in the rear hull section.

The model represents a vehicle from the end of World War II (1945). The vehicle was never used in combat, but it serves as a symbol of Soviet technical thought in the final phase of the conflict and marks the beginning of armored vehicle development trends of the Cold War era.

The Trumpeter 09505 model is a plastic kit for self-assembly. Each part is precisely molded from high-quality plastic, ensuring excellent fit and high detail. The box also includes photo-etched parts for delicate external details—such as shields and small hull components—as well as optional metal barrels. The model does not include glue or paints—these must be purchased separately.
