The Aber 35140 set is a high-quality upgrade dedicated to the 1:35 scale model of the Soviet self-propelled gun SU-85, compatible with Tamiya kits. Manufactured by the renowned Polish company Aber, this set is an excellent enhancement for modelers seeking to increase the level of realism and detail of their model. This product belongs to the category of photo-etched detail sets, allowing for precise reproduction of vehicle components in the finest detail.

The SU-85 was a Soviet self-propelled gun built on the chassis of the legendary T-34 tank, introduced on the Eastern Front in 1943 as an effective response to the German Tiger and Panther armored vehicles. It took part in the most significant operations on the WWII frontline, and modifications of the armor and bodywork, especially the fenders, were crucial for protecting the running gear from mud and shrapnel.

The offered Aber set focuses on reconstructing the fenders and their mounting elements—parts whose level of detail is extremely difficult to achieve with plastic components. Photo-etched brass sheets allow for faithful reproduction of even the smallest details, such as embossing, textures, and mounting holes. As a result, it is possible to give the model a unique, authentic appearance, far surpassing the capabilities of the base kit.

I recommend this product to all advanced modelers and enthusiasts of Soviet armored vehicles aiming for perfect historical accuracy. The assembly difficulty is assessed at 4/5—some experience with tiny photo-etched elements and the use of appropriate modeling tools is suggested. The Aber 35140 set will enable you to create a true-to-life replica of the SU-85, one that will stand out at any exhibition or modeling contest.
