Soviet Su-76M Tamiya-35348 Self-propelled Soviet Su-76M Tamiya-35348

The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun widely used during World War II. Designed as an economical and efficient solution, it combined mechanical simplicity with battlefield versatility. It entered service in 1943 and more than 14,000 units were built, making it one of the most widely produced armored vehicles in the Soviet Union. Based on the T-70 light tank chassis, the SU-76 was armed with a 76.2 mm ZIS-3 gun, effective against light armored vehicles, fortifications and infantry support. Its open design facilitated production and maintenance, although it left the crew vulnerable to explosions and snipers. It participated in all major Soviet offensives from Kursk to Berlin, being valued for its mobility and ability to operate in difficult terrain. Although outclassed by more modern vehicles, its impact was significant in the Soviet victory.
