LooKing for Russian 85mm

If my memory is right, Italeri made a 1/35 Russian 85mm(or 76.2mm) towed field gun in 1970's. My friend told me that this Russian field gun can fire both anti-tank and howitzer(HE) rounds. You may want to check eBay.

Heavier than a 76.2 would be the 100mm, a formidable AT gun indeed, very powerful yet very low and easy to conceal. ICM makes one, a cheap yet high quality kit in styrene, which is great news.

ADV Azimut makes one, but it's a bit pricey. And the Azimut items are hard to find. But then again, if you have some experience building in resin, or are willing to take your time and get the experience as you go along, the Azimut kits are really great-looking when done, as they cover unusual items like this one.

This is the gun that's actually an AAA piece. It was sort of their version of the German Flak 88 that was also used as an AT weapon in times of need, like in '41 or at Kursk. As far as I know they never put it on a typical low AT carriage. Anyone? I think they went from 76.2 to 100mm on the dedicated AT carriages.

Hope this helps.

Closest I know of is ICM's 100mm and Zveda's 76.2 mm which used to be Italeri's old kit if I'm not mistaken. Welcome to the forums ti-geiger.
