Military Wheels MW7222 D-30 122mm Soviet howitzer Scale 1:72

D-30 122 mm howitzer in 1/72 scale is a plastic model kit by Military Wheels representing a Soviet towed field artillery system introduced during the Cold War. The D-30 became one of the most widely used artillery pieces of its caliber in Soviet and allied armed forces.

Developed in the late 1950s, the D-30 was designed as a versatile field howitzer capable of supporting infantry and armored units. The weapon used a distinctive three-leg carriage that allowed a wide traverse and stable firing platform in various terrain conditions.

D-30 - Soviet 122 mm Field Howitzer

The D-30 entered service in the early 1960s and was adopted by numerous countries. Its relatively compact structure and effective firing range made it suitable for field artillery roles and long-term operational use in many armed forces around the world.

For modelers: Artillery subjects in small scales benefit from careful alignment of the carriage legs and gun barrel during assembly to preserve the recognizable tripod configuration of the D-30 system.
