Any one know of a 1/35th scale M-198 155MM howitzer kit? Resin, metal, plastic, makes no difference.....

Thanks,

I don't think AFV Club makes one, they do make several other towed artillery pieces. Who knows, they may make one someday. I've got a couple at work if you need shots.

Steve:
thanks for the link. I'll work on getting this kit Monday (which is like what, Saturday in Australia?). Have you built it? Your thoughts?
I had an opportunity to fire this weapon while doing a story on a Marine reserve unit from Iowa back in '98 or '99, so I want to have a scale memory of that experience. I'll probably also do the M939 that served as my bed during that trip....

Thanks,

Nate,

Haven't built this one. Picked up on it over at, cringe:p, Missing Links. I think there is some info on the kit at one of the model sites in NZ or Austrialia.

Here's a link to the thread on ML. You might email the guys and see what the opion is.

I may try to grab this one up, looks like the only game in town and I've sorta been looking for the last 4 years. AFV club just hasn't come though for me and made one of these .... yet.
