This weapon was used from 1942 until the 1950s, spanning World War II and the postwar conflicts. It was renowned for its impressive range – capable of hitting targets at distances exceeding 22 kilometers. Guns of this type participated in the Normandy landings (D-Day), the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the Italian campaign. Their firepower was due not only to their precision, but also to their modern – for the time – mobile construction, which allowed for rapid movement on the front lines.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKit Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise detailing and accurate dimensions true to the original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecreated gun mechanism elements (barrel, chassis, shield details)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be displayed in firing or transport position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic parts ensure easy cutting and processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality casting with no visible ejector marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWe recommend the \u003cstrong\u003eHasegawa MT02 US 155mm M2 Field Gun Long Tom (1\/72)\u003c\/strong\u003e model to intermediate and experienced modelers.
