Does anyone have any idea where I might find plans for the M55 8" Self Propelled Howitzer?

I've been toying with the idea for some time of scratchbuilding a conversion based on either the M46 or M47 tank. I've got plenty of pictures of the beast, but plans would do wonders.

I don't have plans and there are many good places for pictures. One thing you may consider is Elite Models now has a resin version of the M55 and the M53. I just received the M53 and it looks quite good. I may pick up a PE set for an M47 and sub some parts. The bad news is the expense, the good news is it will save a bunch of conversion time.

No interior with the kit and that is where I will send my scratch time.

Rounds Complete!!

Hi Steve,

I know there are some posts around Armorama with links to a site from Wim Vink.
He made the Atomic Gun from scratch and as far as I know he might have some plans for the M55 howitzer since he has done one with some very heavy converions !
I do not know the direct link to his site !!!
Good luck !!
