Kind of funny you ask. There was a topic with pretty well the same name just a little while ago: Gulf War II Artillery

Nic

I dont know what kind this is but it is from the gulf war#2. its a little blown up :-) :-)

Making a burnt-out vehicle for a dio may look easy, but it isn't. In fact, it's a lot more difficult than painting a vehicle in mint condition. But for a realistic Gulf War dio we better start practising...

Well, on the Coaltition side there is:

105mm L118 gun


105mm guns used by the Australian Army (similar in appearence)

Towed, has a maximum range of 17200m
Used by two regiments of the British Army, it can be parachuted in or dropped by helo.

155mm AS-90


AS-90 with 39 calibre barrel


AS-90 with 52 calibre barrel

Self-propelled, has a maximum range of 25000m with the 39 calibre barrel and over 30000m with the 52 calibre one.
Used by 5 regiments of the British Army

M109A6 Paladin


M109A6 Paladin

Self-propelled, has a range of 22000m
Latest incarnation of the M109 SPG/H series

M270 MLRS


M270 ready to fire

Self-propelled, has a range of 32000m

On the Iraqi side, things aren't as clear, as it has around 2100 examples of tube artillery and a further 200 odd rocket launchers. Some of the more common types are:

M-30 122-mm Towed Howitzer/Type 54 122mm howitzer


Soviet example of M-30

D-30 2A18M 122-mm Towed Howitzer


Soviet example of D-30

Range of 15300m

M-46 130-mm Towed Gun/Type 59 130mm Field Gun


Middle eastern (unsure if Iraqi) example of M-46

Range of 38000m

G5 155mm 45-calibre, towed gun howitzer


Line drawing of G5

Range of 30000m
Iraq was the biggest customer of the G5 during the Iran-Iraq war, and was much feared prior to Desert Storm due to its great range. However most (if not all?) were destroyed/captured in 1991

2S1 M-1974 Gvodzika (Carnation)


Remenants of 2S1 in 1991

Range of 15300m

The US is also using the M198 towed howitzer.

Ummmmmm, M-198.
That's the next project on my list. All resin kit from Australia. Nice piece of work, or so it looks.
Now if someone would just make a crew for it.....
