This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
From the manufacturer:
In November 1929 K.M. Ivanov was commissioned by the RKKA to produce a self-propelled gun based on the T-18, as well as the ammunication 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 76.2mm 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.
Molded in 2 shades of tan plastic; includes photo-etch parts and decals.
