ACE 72542 BM-8-24 multiple rocket launcher (1/72)

ACE 72542 BM-8-24 is a high-quality 1/72 scale plastic model kit representing the Soviet BM-8-24 multiple rocket launcher. The model is designed for demanding modelers who value faithfully recreated details of historical military vehicles. The product does not include glue or paints – these must be purchased separately.

The BM-8-24 is a mobile rocket launcher developed by the USSR based on the light ZIS-5 truck or the Gaz-AA car. The launcher was used for rapid fire support on the battlefield and was capable of launching 24 82 mm rockets in a short period of time. The main use of this system took place during World War II – the BM-8-24 was actively deployed by the Red Army from 1941, particularly during combats on the Eastern Front. Thanks to its high mobility and the effectiveness of its firepower, the BM-8-24 launcher became one of the symbols of Soviet rocket artillery – popularly known as "Katyusha."

This ACE model is distinguished by its highly detailed recreation of both the chassis frame and the rocket rail construction. The kit is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and ease of processing parts. All components are precisely molded with injection technology, allowing the modeler to achieve a realistic final result. The included assembly instructions clearly guide you through each stage of the model construction.
