History of the Russian tank destroyer SU-85 base Hobby Boss

The standard SU-85 was based on the SU-122, fitted with 45 mm front armor and armed with Petrov's 85 mm D-5S cannon. This was the most common version in use. The SU-85 was produced by Uralmash until the arrival of the more powerful SU-100. 
A total of 2,329 SU-85s were produced by this factory from August 1943 to July 1944. The SU-85 was mainly used by the Red Army, although 70 were delivered to the Polish Army and 2 to the Czech Corps. Production of the SU-85 would have been shorter had the SU-100's armour-piercing ammunition not run into so many problems that the SU-100's production was constantly postponed.
