Tamiya 35351 - 1/35 U.S. Self-Propelled 155mm Gun M40 WWII (With 8 Figures & PE Parts)  [35351]

That's an installation type of the U.S. Self-Propelled 155mm M40. Its a never before seen topic inside Tamiya line-up of 1/35 scale models. The kit uses new tooling with the exception of the suspension system components since they are through the M4A3E8 Sherman "Easy Eight" model kit. The M40 ended up being a significant part of U.S. Army artillery mechanization, combining the M1 155mm tool utilizing the confirmed M4 Sherman framework. Armor wound up being light supplied its intended usage as an extended range device (they were effective around 23.5km) from leading line, while the layout finished up being changed from the M4 to permit a big combat compartment within rear to support the most notable weapon. It turned out fitted with smooth horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS). Over 400 had been produced before the end of WWII; although they never battled in conflict, an example of their T83 model did. The M40 served within the Korean War, and was in fact fundamentally replaced by the M53.

The M40, which paired numerous M4 Sherman elements with a good 155mm gun, now seems in Tamiya 1/35 Military Miniature Series.The as a type of the hull and gun are captured with exceptional attention to information. Equilibrators are fitted with poly caps during construction to facilitate gun elevation.Comes without significantly less than 8 figures, and 2 Korean War marking alternatives.
