Soviet D-20 152mm towed Gun-Howitzer, 1/35 - Trumpeter 02333

The Trumpeter 02333 faithfully reproduces the Soviet 152 mm D-20 towed gun-howitzer at the 1/35 scale. This static plastic kit depicts a field artillery piece designed after World War II to replace the ML-20 of the same caliber.

The D-20 combines the functions of a gun and an howitzer in a 152 mm towed vehicle. Its carriage, barrel, and wheels make it an especially suitable subject for Soviet artillery scenes, military dioramas, and 1/35 scale ground equipment collections.

The model is announced with over 240 parts, spread across nine sprues, including a frame and rubber tires. A photo-etched fret is also included. Once assembled, the model measures 260 mm long and 78 mm wide.

Assembly requires the usual plastic modeling steps: preparing and gluing the parts, treating the mold seams, painting, then applying markings. A suitable primer makes it easier to paint and helps bring out the details on the carriage, shield, and artillery mechanism. A controlled weathering finish can then enhance the operational look of the piece in a terrain setting or diorama.

At the 1/35 scale, each real-world dimension is reduced by a factor of 35. This reference provides a detailed base for depicting a Soviet towed artillery piece.
