MiniArt has informed us that another Soviet SU-85 is on the way, this time as a beutepanzer, and it comes with a crew as well.

The SU-85 (Samokhodnayaustanovka 85) was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during World War II, developed on the basis of the T-34 medium tank and the SU-122 assault gun. It was produced from August 1943 through July 1944. The 85-mm D-5S gun allowed the SU-85 to effectively hit enemy medium tanks at distances of more than 1,000 meters and was able to destroy a Tiger tank from 1000 meters out, proving much capable against the newer German tank designs.

MiniArt’s Jagdpanzer SU-85(r) w/ Crew (#35229) presents a highly detailed depiction of the Soviet SU-85. Containing a total parts count of 712, the kit features:

• workable track links
• 627 plastic parts
• 75 photoetched parts
• 10 clear plastic parts
• 5 figures
• a decal sheet for 6 finishing options

Our thanks to MiniArt for the information.
