This looks pretty nice. I really like that it has a full ammunition complement. For some reason, watching this video kept reminding me of Eduard Khil's version of "I Am Glad, 'Cause I'm Finally Returning Back Home." The Trololo song.

Well?! When did the Tamiya kit have an interior, and all those seperate suspension parts, etc?

It looks very good in the video, how does it built up?

The Christie suspension springs seem to be inflexible plastic mouldings , so the the kit couldn't have a workable suspension

There's as much difference between this kit and the Tamiya as there is between a Saturn V moonrocket and that bottle rocket you shoot off for July 4

Have you ever built, or even bought, the old TAMIYA SU-85? If you had, then you would see the obvious differences between the ANCIENT TAMIYA SU-85 and the brand-new MINIART kit...

The MINIART SU-85, and the preceding SU-122 are NOT clones of anything that has been manufactured previously...

ULIX-VM- These are true Miniart Molds- much better then Tamiya's 1970's mold. Tamiya had the only SU-122 on the market for years, not now, Miniart finally stepped up to the plate. Dragon has a really nice SU-85/100 kit...I doubt it would take much work to convert or add parts to it for a SU-122.

Hi, David and everyone else!

I kit-bashed an SU-122 quite a few years ago by mating a TAMIYA SU-122 Upper Hull to a DRAGON T-34/85 Lower Hull and Suspension. (I had an extra T-34/85 on hand at the time).

There was a bit of fiddling around with it to make everything fit properly, but all-in-all, it was worth the extra effort...

I'm wondering if MINIART will go "the whole hog" by doing all of the major Russo/Soviet Tanks and AFVs, along with model kits of Tanks and AFVs representing other nations, produced in the same calibre (interiors, "indy links" and such) as their new SU-series kits..? I'm betting that if they would do so, they'd have a pretty wide segment of the modelling community at their beck and call...
