“Istriebitielj fascisma” - the USSR armored wagon from armored train "BP 1"

Wagon of the “OB – 3" full - length armored train, built in 1941. When it has been badly damaged, individual wagons are repaired, re-armed and re-armored. In this way, wagons and other railway equipment were maximized, and the railways sometimes became the only possible means of movement along the front. The wagon, you are planning to assemble, was originally armed with only one tower with a 76.2 mm caliber cannon and was mounted on a two-axle 20-tonne railway platform. During the repair, two different towers from the 1933 T-26 tanks were installed. The armament was supplemented by two machine guns DT, mounted in special side niches. The wagon thus armed participated in the defense of Moscow in the late 1941s.

The model is quite simple, so we can recommend assembling it even for beginner modelers, but it would be good for them to have a more experienced colleague nearby. And the more experienced, based on the photos, can try to "pull" the princess out of this “Ashes”.
