Great news- BUT I'll wait until the 155/208 variant appears.
Perhaps a 90mm is in the pipeline???

Looks good. The M4 918 ton) HST was mainly the prime mover for the M1 (M59) 155mm Long Tom cannon and could also pull the M115 203mm cannon . It was not designed to pull the puny 3" gun as it states in the write-up. The prime mover for the 3" gun was the smaller, 13 ton, M5 HST.

Thanks for the site. It's always nice to take a peek inside a kit. I had no idea of the size of that E-25!
