1:35 Scale Model Set "Spent 23mm Shell Casings (ZU-23-2, ZSU-23-4)" (148 pcs) SPALAH 33335
Historical Background The 23mm automatic anti-aircraft guns of the 2A14 and 2A7 series provide the primary firepower for the legendary ZU-23-2 mount and the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. For decades, this weapon has been used to engage aerial targets, light armor, and infantry. In the full-scale war in Ukraine, ZU-23-2 units—often mounted on trucks or MT-LBs ("gun trucks")—have become an indispensable tool for countering kamikaze drones. The rapid fire from these twin or quad systems always leaves behind characteristic scatters of small-caliber casings.
Model Information This 1:35 scale set by SPALAH features 148 high-detail replicas of 23mm casings. Utilizing high-resolution 3D printing technology, each piece boasts a perfect cylindrical form and a rendered primer pocket, details that are nearly impossible to achieve with standard injection molding. The models are crafted from durable photopolymer resin. The quantity of pieces in the set allows for the realistic detailing of a firing position or the bed of a gun truck.
Purpose and Application This set is designed for professional detailing of dioramas and vignettes featuring anti-aircraft mounts or the vehicles carrying them. The casings can be placed in the beds of pickups and trucks, near ZU-23-2 carriages, or scattered on the ground around air defense positions. This level of detailing adds dynamic energy to the scene and highlights the crew's combat operations.
