7th Mechanized Corps, Hungary 1945
Fitted with the potent S-10S antitank gun, the SU-100 marked a significant improvement in combat power over the SU-85. Mass production began in September 1944, providing the Red Army with a total of 2335 SU-100 tank destroyers by the end of WWII. They were employed en masse in Hungary in the bitter fighting there in 1945.
Dragon Armor has recreated an SU-100 from the 1st Guards Mechanized Corps that saw combat in this theater. The 1/72 scale model is suitably weathered, and tactical markings and a patriotic slogan are scrawled on the superstructure sides. Many tanks and tanks destroyers were daubed with painted slogans, a practice commonly used by Russians to boost morale. In this case, the slogan translates as “The 20th anniversary of Uzbek Soviets”. The destroyer is painted in usual green paint scheme.
