UMT 694 SU-1 (T-26 chassis) self-propelled gun (rubber tracks) Scale 1:72 Plastic Model Self-propelled gun Kit

SU-1 self-propelled gun on the T-26 chassis is presented as a plastic model kit in 1/72 scale by UMT. The subject represents an experimental Soviet self-propelled artillery concept developed during the interwar period using the widely produced T-26 light tank platform.

During the 1930s Soviet designers explored multiple ways to increase mobile artillery support for mechanized units. The SU-1 concept mounted artillery on the chassis of the T-26 tank, combining the mobility of a light tracked vehicle with the fire support role traditionally provided by towed guns.

SU-1 - Early Soviet Self-Propelled Artillery Concept

The SU-1 project illustrates the early stage of Soviet experimentation with self-propelled artillery systems. By adapting the proven T-26 chassis, engineers aimed to create a mobile support platform capable of accompanying armored formations and infantry units.

For modelers: Vehicles based on the T-26 chassis typically include compact suspension assemblies and narrow track runs. Careful alignment of road wheels and tracks helps maintain a balanced stance before attaching the upper structure.
