I Love Kit 63548 M55 203mm Self-Propelled Howitzer 1/35 is a plastic model kit representing one of the most recognizable American artillery systems of the Cold War era. The realistically rendered 1/35 scale M55 203mm self-propelled howitzer gives modelers the opportunity to construct an exceptionally detailed replica of a vehicle that was one of the pillars of fire support for the United States Army from 1952 to 1970.

Historical Background: The M55 howitzer was the result of the US postwar artillery technology development, primarily used during the Cold War. It distinguished itself with an enclosed, rotating combat compartment and the ability to deliver powerful fire from long distances. Entering service in the late 1940s, its production continued into the 1960s. It was used intensively during various NATO exercises, as well as during the Korean War and in the early decades of the Cold War. In addition to the United States Army, some units were delivered to America's allied nations.
