Trumpeter 01573 Voroshilovets Tractor (1/35) – plastic model kit

The Trumpeter 01573 Voroshilovets Tractor in 1/35 scale is a highly detailed plastic model kit for self-assembly, replicating the Soviet heavy artillery tractor from World War II. The product is dedicated to demanding modelers who want to enrich their collection with an authentic vehicle used during the greatest conflicts of the 20th century.

Historical Background and Usage

The Voroshilovets tractor was developed by the Soviet Union in the late 1930s. It was created in response to the Red Army's need for transporting heavy artillery, especially 152 mm caliber guns and larger. Production started in 1939 and continued until 1942, when the Kharkov Locomotive Works were destroyed due to wartime action. The vehicle was primarily used on the Eastern Front to tow heavy guns, move armored trains, and as a supply transport. The Voroshilovets was known for being robust, but due to its size and limited production, it was quite a rare sight on the battlefield. The model is perfect for dioramas from the World War II era, particularly those depicting Red Army operations.
