1/35 US M3A1 Late Version Tow 122mm Howitzer M-30

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From Hobby Boss:

The White M3A1 Scout Car was first produced in 1938. Initially, the scout car was primarily used by armored and reconnaissance units, but it was more suited to road use than cross-country terrain. During the war, the M3A1s were rarely used in the dangerous role of scout vehicles. Trial versions included the M3A1E1 with a diesel engine, the M3A1E2 with an armored roof, and the M3A1E3 mounting a37mm(1.46in) gun on a rotating pedestal. Nearly 21,000 were built and the M3, known as the White scout car, was supplied in large numbers under Lend-Lease to theSoviet Unionand to Free French forces. After the war, surplus vehicles were exported to nations inIsraeland elsewhere, where they often served for many years.

The vehicle could carry a crew of eight and was armed with a.50 M2machine gun in the front and two .30 1917 Brownings positioned in the rear. All three guns were mounted on a continuous skate rail and could bring down a lot of fire on a target.

This nicely detailed kit from Hobby Boss measures about 40.7cm long and 7.4cm wide when completed. It features photo-etched parts, a metal barrel, and a newly molded M-30 howitzer. Order today!
