122mm A-19

Bring the power of Soviet heavy artillery to your collection with this detailed model of the 122mm A-19 corps gun. One of the Red Army’s most important long-range artillery pieces of the Second World War, the A-19 combined substantial firepower with a robust field carriage suited to demanding Eastern Front conditions.

Historical Role

The A-19 served primarily as a corps-level field gun, engaging enemy artillery, fortified positions, transport routes and concentrations of troops at long range. Its high-velocity 122mm ammunition also made it effective in direct-fire engagements against hardened targets and heavy armoured vehicles when circumstances required. Widely employed by Soviet forces during the war, it contributed to both defensive operations and the large artillery offensives that supported the Red Army’s advance westward.

Distinctive Appearance

The gun is instantly recognisable by its long, slender barrel, prominent recoil system and substantial split-trail carriage. Large spoked wheels, a broad protective shield and the angular trail legs give the A-19 a purposeful, heavy-duty profile. These features make it visually distinct from shorter-barrelled Soviet field howitzers and create an impressive focal point in any artillery position.

Modelling Uses

This model is ideal for Eastern Front dioramas depicting prepared gun lines, counter-battery positions, defensive strongpoints or advancing Soviet artillery formations. Smaller scales are well suited to model railways, transport scenes and wargaming displays, while larger versions offer greater presence for detailed painting, weathering and crew-focused settings. It is also an excellent addition for collectors of Red Army equipment and World War II artillery.

Fun Fact

The A-19’s powerful 122mm gun provided the ballistic foundation for the D-25 family of tank guns, most famously associated with the Soviet IS-2 heavy tank.
