Zvezda: 1/100 Soviet SBM-13 “Katyusha” – Model
Kit
The BM-13 Multiple Rocket Launcher was one of the Soviet Union’s most
feared weapons in World War II. Essentially, it was a ZIS-6 truck chassis, with
a series of rocket guide rails mounted in the rear. It provided the Red Army
with a mobile artillery platform. To the Russians, it was “Katyusha”
(“Little Katie”), taken from a popular war time song about a girl missing
her beloved soldier. The Germans knew it as “Stalin’s Organs” due to its
similarity to church pipe organs.
