Trumpeter 1/35 Russian ChTZ S-65 Artillery Tractor Scaled Plastic Model Kit

The ChTZ S-65, also known as the "Stalinets," was a Soviet heavy artillery tractor produced in vast numbers before and during World War II. Entering service in 1937, this rugged and reliable machine became the most numerous tracked tractor in the Red Army by 1941. Its primary role was to tow heavy guns and howitzers across the harsh terrain of the Eastern Front, making it an unsung but vital hero of the Soviet war effort.

This 1/35 scale kit from Trumpeter is a highly detailed replica of this iconic WWII Soviet tractor. With over 440 parts, the model is a complex and rewarding build, featuring a multi-directional slide-moulded cab and engine cover, a photo-etched fret for fine details, and 234 individual track links for the ultimate in realism. The kit also includes a complete M17 diesel engine, which can be viewed under the removable cover.
