Thank you, gentlemen! This one sat on my shelf of doom for nearly a year before I finally finished the painting and weathering. It looks much better in my display case than it did on the shelf of doom.

Thanks. Now I have to figure out how to transport to shows it with that very long barrel.

Album info

In World War I the US Army was so unprepared that it had to employ French and British weapons and copied French artillery organization and techniques. During the interwar period they worked with deliberate haste to develop all new world-class artillery weapons, organizational models, techniques, and tactics. When WW2 started, the US artillery was ready for rapid expansion and success. For long range artillery, the US relied upon the excellent 155mm Gun M1A1. It had great range, accuracy, mobility, and packed a punch.

AFV Club has two versions of this weapon - one as it served in WW2 and the other as it served in Korea and beyond. For this project I built the WW2 version. It has highway tires and the early limber. AFV Club improved the dimensional accuracy and added more detail to the WW2 version. It went together well. The vinyl airbrake hoses are realistic but are a bit fiddly to install.

I finished the model with Tamiya paints. It was weathered with AK enamels, W&N oils, and AK pigments.
