The vehicle was created for operational needs of the Syrian army—armored self-propelled howitzers based on captured or modernized T-34 hulls, armed with 122mm D-30 howitzers, which have been the main artillery support in the region. Such solutions were developed to modernize the equipment and efficiently utilize available resources. This type of construction has been documented during conflicts in Syria, especially the civil war after 2011, where these vehicles were used both by the regular army and various paramilitary groups. Thanks to their significant firepower and ease of operation, the T-34/D-30 became one of the symbols of "frontline combat engineering" in the region.

The Rye Field Model 5030 features a very high level of detail—including a realistically reproduced hull, turret, armament, and many construction details characteristic of the Syrian version. The manufacturer has also carefully recreated unique modifications and additional armor. The kit also includes photo-etched parts to ensure a high level of realism and many customization possibilities.

Build difficulty: 4/5. The model is intended for advanced or intermediate modelers who already have experience building military vehicles in 1/35 scale. The complexity of the parts, the presence of photo-etched details, and opportunities for customization allow you to create a truly realistic diorama from modern conflict periods.

This product is recommended for all military modelers fascinated by modern conflicts, fans of unusual conversions, and collectors of Middle Eastern armored vehicles. Thanks to its abundance of detail and its high-quality castings, the Rye Field Model T-34/D-30 122mm will become an impressive addition to any collection.
