They do not contain paints and glues unless otherwise stated.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASU-57 was a small, lightly constructed Soviet assault gun specifically designed for use by Soviet airborne divisions. From 1960 it was replaced by the ASU-85. The ASU-57 was designed to be a light-weight assault gun that could be air-dropped and deployed by rocket-assisted parachute along with the troops. It was lightly armored and armed with a 57 mm gun Ch-51, a development of World War II ZIS-2 but with some similarities to the Ch-26. From 1954, an improved 57mm gun Ch-51M with much shorter double-baffle muzzle brake was fitted. The ASU-57's engine was taken from the GAZ-M-20 \"Pobeda\" civilian car.\u003cbr\u003eThe ASU-57 was a successful design, and saw service with Soviet airborne divisions for around 20 years before being replaced by the ASU-85. During its years of operation 54 vehicles would have been assigned to each airborne division.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem No 83896\u003cbr\u003eItem Name Russian ASU-57 Airborne Tank Destroyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale 1:35\u003cbr\u003eItem Type Plastic Model Armor Kit\u003cbr\u003eModel Dimension Length: 135.8mm Width: 65.3mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Plastic Parts 300+\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues 7 sprues and hull\u003cbr\u003eChromeplate Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts n\/a\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts 1 piece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore Features The kit consists of over 300 parts\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;the kit w\/refined detail\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;photo etched parts included\u003cbr\u003e\u0026gt;individual track\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hobbyboss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58707114295677,"sku":"HBB83896","price":37.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/hbb83896.jpg?v=1789847073","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/hobbyboss-135-scale-ww2-russian-asu-57-tank-destroyer","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
