The Long American: M40 155mm Artillery Piece

When you see one you don't have, don't you get that "must have" craving? I never had the M40 Matchbox (now released by Revell) as a kid, but I do in my second childhood :)


Taking the antiquated M12 155mm mounting from a deprecated M3 chassis onto the latest Sherman M4 sprung version, it had a few pokes a Cologne but saw more action in Korea. Something nice to call in (if you can) on your radio net.

Yes, more painting to do, all backed up on the tray ;)

    I suppose this is as strange as the Sherman Calliope to have on table (see Paul's previous comment)

    Yep I am back, but my heart is still in the UK (Godbless it).

    I did notice that the homeland seemed to be a whole lot cleaner than when I was last there 10 yrs back. Well done for that!

    It's got HVSS rather than VVSS! I may have to get one or two to fancy up my Fireflies.
