It was armed with a 122 mm M-30S howitzer, which proved highly effective against fortifications and enemy infantry positions. The vehicle played a significant role in Soviet offensives such as the Battle of Kursk and the liberation of Ukraine, supporting the armored might of the Red Army during 1943–1944 (the period of World War II).\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/72 – perfect for diorama collections and expanding armored ranks in limited spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II, especially the years 1943–1944\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality modeling plastic ensuring component precision and ease of assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eZvezda 5043 SU-122 SOVIET TANK DESTROYER 1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e set includes detailed parts recreated according to the original design, allowing for faithful reproduction of the vehicle's silhouette and features.
