1/35 US M19A1 Twin 40mm Gun Motor Carriage Korean War

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The U.S. military, which operated anti-aircraft self-propelled guns based on the M3 Half-track, requested a full-fledged anti-aircraft tank. As a result, a self-propelled gun using the chassis of the new light tank M24 was developed, and the T65E1 was produced. It featured an open-top turret with the engine moved to the center and two 40mm machine guns mounted at the rear. After improvements, it was adopted as the M19 and around 300 units were produced until the end of the war. After the war, it was modified to the A1 version, equipped with an auxiliary generator and strengthened radio equipment. It was used during the Korean War and operated in various countries, including Japan.
