The SA-6 Gainful (2K12 Kub for the Soviet) tracked surface-to-air missile system is a Soviet low to medium-level air defence system designed to protect ground force from air attack. A SA-6 battery usually consist of three triple-missile transporter erector launchers (TELs), one tracked radar vehicle and four resupplying trucks. Entered in service in 1967, the SA-6 went trough several modernisations and versions. The missile have an effective range of 4-24 km and an effective altitude of 50-14,000 m. The NVA (East-German Army) received a total of 107 TELs starting from 1970.
Before the advent of the Trumpeter kit (and I still need to buy mine), the only available 1/72 scale SA-6 was the diecast ones (Altaya?). With a little work and a new painting they were perfect on the wargaming table. (made 2020)
