Known for its ability to rapidly barrage large front areas, it was mounted on the ZiS-6 6x4 truck chassis, which provided mobility and allowed for quick repositioning on the battlefield. Firing from the rail launchers produced a distinctive howling sound, which caused panic among German troops who dubbed it the \"Stalin's Organ.\" By December 1941, 456 units of this vehicle had been produced, and M-13 systems were used in many pivotal battles, including the defense of Moscow and Stalingrad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eKit Contents and Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSprues with parts for self-assembly of the M-13 model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eGlue and paints not included—must be purchased separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNo photo-etched or resin parts—all components made from plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePST 72018 Rocket Launcher M-13\u003c\/strong\u003e kit is recommended for experienced modellers and intermediate enthusiasts with an interest in 20th-century military technology and Eastern Front history.
