Trumpeter 07111 Russian ChTZ S-65 Tractor with Cab 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully recreates the legendary Soviet artillery tractor from World War II. The model is produced in the popular 1/72 scale, offering an exceptional balance between detail and ease of display even in small dioramas or collections.

The ChTZ S-65 was a heavy tracked tractor manufactured by the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (ChTZ) in the Soviet Union. From 1937 until the end of the war, the S-65 was used to tow heavy field artillery, such as 152 mm howitzers or 203 mm guns. Its characteristic cab provided partial protection for the crew against harsh weather conditions, which was especially important on the Eastern Front.

The S-65 was intensively used by the Red Army from 1937–1945, mainly during World War II—including the battles of Stalingrad, Moscow, and the fighting on the Kursk Salient. It was highly valued for its exceptional durability and ability to operate in boggy, muddy terrains of Eastern Europe.
