Trumpeter looks to be continuing their quest to drain the wallets of modern Soviet vehicle modellers with their now available (at least in China!) mobile coastal gun. The parts display some pretty delicate molding, as usual from their recent releases.
The A-222 Bereg is a Russian 130 mm self-propelled coastal artillery gun, which was developed in the 1980s and first shown to the public in 1993 at an arms fair in Abu Dhabi.
The Bereg artillery system consists of one command and control vehicle (CPU), a combat support vehicle (MOBD) and up to six weapon systems (SAU). All of them are mounted on 8×8 wheeled all-terrain vehicles providing excellent mobility.
The AK-130 gun is mounted on a wheeled MAZ-543 8×8 vehicle and was designed to engage surface ships and fast attack boats as well as ground targets. It is capable of engaging targets within 1–2 minutes and can fire up to 12 shots per minute.
As of 2003, the only operator of the system was the Russian unit 40th BRAP at a naval base in Novorossiysk at the Black Sea.

I may of ask if they will add an interior set for the turret. May be they heard me on facebook. Hehehe... That would be sweet. I do have this kit on order for me. I got an amazing diorama idea. Can't tell you what it is yet. When I do start it, I will put up pictures. Cheers, Tom D

I live close to Long Island Sound on the Connecticut coast, (the real one at least) for those pesky North shore yachts. AND it would fit into the single shot long gun category for a license.
