Hey all,
I'm fairly new here and need some history help.
I bought the tamiya SU-85 kit and was planning on making my
first real dio, set at kursk. I have the basic groundwork
done with celluclay but I realized that the SU-85 was not
used at kursk. I was wondering if any of you guys could help
me out with some notable battles the SU-85 was used at.
Thanks, Drew

It came into service in August, so likely Kharkov, Kiev, any of the battles on the Dnieper, Korsun, Bagration, etc, until war's end.
Personally I would go with Kharkov or Kiev, but that's just me.
Be sure to post pictures when you're finished

Marblehead? That's awesome. I'm over in Springfield. Not quite as nice, but it's a good enough place to live haha
