Historical Information

The model represents the ISU-130 – a Soviet heavy self-propelled gun developed in 1945 based on the popular ISU-152. The vehicle was equipped with a powerful 130 mm B-13 naval gun, known for its outstanding effectiveness and a firing range of up to 12,300 m. Developed just before the end of World War II, the ISU-130 was intended as a response to modern German designs, primarily heavy tanks such as the Tiger II.

Trials of the ISU-130 were conducted in June-August 1945, but due to the end of the war, the project was abandoned and the vehicle never entered mass production. Nevertheless, the ISU-130 remains an interesting example of Soviet military engineering of that period.
