Hello,

Are there any ASU-85 1/35 good kits, and after-market accessories available?

Regards,
Flores

Yes. There's the full resin ASU-85 from ARMO. But that's about it. I've built one years ago and it was a nice kit. The only part lacking was the canvas cover on the gunshield. Aftermarket stuff you could use would be PT-76 tracks as both vehicles share the same parts.

Somewhere thru all the online gossip and rumour I've heard there's a chance Trumpeter might release one. A while ago a photo of a master was shown right here on this forum. But, contrary to widespread believe, that's not evidence such a kit will actually be released. It would be nice though.

Flores,
Bom dia! SP Designs also makes an ASU-85. However, the kit is kinda crude (I think it was an early release) and is going to need ALOT of love to clean it up.

aef designs do a resin conversion if you want to put the time in but you will need to butcher a dragon shilka to build it

"Aftermarket stuff you could use would be PT-76 tracks as both vehicles share the same parts."

My mistake. It should indeed be ZSU-23-4 Shilka tracks.

But I'd stay away from the AEF garbage. That stuff I would never recommend to anyone. Not even my worst enemy.
And the SP Designs kit, is it available? I don't think so, or is it?

Hello Folks,

The resin kit from ARMO, is quite expensive.

So, from what I havegathered from all of you people above, it will be better to stay put and wait for the Trumpy ASU-85.


Many thanks, and regards,
Flores

ASU-85 from SP Designs has been OOP for over 5 years. Maybe eBay? AEF Designs, do not bother with.

Armo is a good but difficult kit to build.

Trumpeter is working on a 1/35 scale kit, not sure where it is at.

Jacques,

Thanks, I will wait (?) for the Trumpeter ASU-85.
