The new Hobby Boss kit looks a great modeling subject. Although i have labeled it in the Modern Armor discussion group i presume it was used in WW2 and Korea Where was it used and what's the kit like. I don't know much about Hobbyboss.

The Hobbyboss kit is the M4 High Speed Tractor, used to tow the 90mm AA gun, WW2 vintage.

I don't know if this gun was used in Korea, however. Hobbyboss has released a sister kit, the M4 HST designed to haul the 155mm Long Tom and the 8" Howitzer. Both these weapons served in Korea and afterwards.

Excellent reviews of both can be found here:
