Can anyone give me some info/references on the old U.S. 107mm Mortar? I have one that was included in a super old 1/35 Academy M151A2 Mutt and Trailer kit (Not the separate tam35119 kit), which had no instructions on painting details. I wanted to build and paint it finally- after 12 years of being stored). Thank you in advance.

Tamiya separate kit, mortar in Tamiya M106 kit and mortars in Academy M151 are exactly the same parts for M30 mortar. Academy ones are just copies of Tamiya parts.
