ICM 72571 BM-13-16 Katiusha Soviet Multiple Launch Rocket System (1/72)

The ICM 72571 BM-13-16 Katiusha 1/72 scale plastic model kit is a precisely recreated miniature of the legendary Soviet multiple launch rocket launcher, famous from World War II. The Katiusha rocket launcher was one of the most recognizable symbols of Soviet artillery. Developed in the Soviet Union, it was widely used by the Red Army from 1941 until the end of the war. Its characteristic appearance and powerful firepower brought it great fame and the nickname "Stalin's Organs."

The presented model depicts the BM-13-16 version, mounted on the chassis of a ZiS-6 truck. The real-life version of this launcher took part in key battles on the Eastern Front, including Moscow, Stalingrad, and Operation Bagration. The Katiusha was distinguished by its ability to quickly deliver a barrage of rocket fire, spreading panic and chaos among enemy ranks. It was used by the USSR and satellite states during and shortly after World War II.
