Gino P. Quintiliani reviews Fine Molds'' new kit of the Japanese GSDF Type 73 Light Truck with 105mm recoilless rifle (although I suspect that should be 106mm).

Thanks!

There was a 106MM recoiless made.

Nice write up Gino!

The M40 recoilless rifle is commonly described as being 106 mm, but it is in fact 105 mm; the 106 mm designation was chosen to prevent confusion with the incompatible 105 mm ammunition from the failed M27. (from Wikipedia )

Thanks guys. It is a nice little jeep kit. As Frenchy wrote, it was actually a 105mm Recoilless Rifle, but called a 106mm so as not to confuse ammo types.
