About product

The 105 mm M2A1 howitzer (1:35, AFV Club)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American 105 mm M2A1 howitzer with its carriage in 1:35 scale, made by AFV Club. The set works the barrel, the cradle and the recoil mechanism up faithfully and holds photo-etched parts; the model is built unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

The howitzer of 105 mm caliber, the M2A1 (later redesignated the M101), was the standard light field gun of the American army from the Second World War and served long after it. It excelled in reliability, range and simple handling and became one of the most widespread artillery systems of its class. It was towed behind an artillery tractor and was set up in a firing position with the arms of its carriage spread.

Building and painting tips

Pay attention to the movable items of the carriage and to the correct seating of the barrel. Glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). After spraying the base coat, choose an olive green scheme; bring out the metal parts of the barrel and the breech with a dark wash, draw the edges in with dry-brushing and round the lower areas of the carriage out with dust pigments. The gun will stand out splendidly in a diorama with a crew.

  • For anyone interested in American artillery of the Second World War.
  • For makers of dioramas with artillery positions.
  • For intermediate modelers.

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
