1/35 Hobby Boss Soviet SU-18 SPH 83875

Product Introduction:

In November 1929 ANII K. M. Ivanov. commissioned by the RKKA produced a of an self-propelled gun based on the T-18. as well as the ammunition carrier for it. The prototype was a captured French Renault FT-17BS. The SU-18 kept the same design as the French vehicle. but replaced the turret with one that resembles a truncated pyramid. The SU-18 used the 76.2-mm regimental gun model 1927 with a slotted muzzle brake to reduce rollback. The decision to build the SU-18 was made on June 11 and stipulated the delivery of a prototype by October 10. 1930. However. due to the small ammunition capability and the limitations of the T-18 (a narrow gauge chassis and a high center of gravity) the design was abandoned in favor of larger and better self-propelled gun designs and further work on the SU-18 was stopped.
