1/35 BM-13-16 on W.O.T. 8 chassis, WWII Soviet MLRS
ICM 1/35 BM-13-16 on W.O.T. 8 chassis is a plastic kit of the Soviet Katyusha rocket launcher on the British Fordson truck chassis. It has 338 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The BM-13-16 was a Soviet Second World War rocket artillery combat vehicle and the most numerous weapon of its class in the Red Army. The launcher carried eight rail guides for sixteen RS-132 rockets and was a formidable weapon in battle.
From early 1942 the launchers were also fitted to the chassis of trucks supplied to the USSR under Lend-Lease. One of them was the British Fordson W.O.T. 8 with 4×4 drive, and it is this combination of truck and launcher that the kit represents.
The ICM model in 1/35 scale has 338 parts and measures approximately 173 × 85 mm when finished. The decals depict a Red Army vehicle from 1942. A British truck carrying Soviet armament is an unusual pairing that stands out in a rocket artillery collection as well as in an Eastern Front diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
