About product

The M7 Priest in 1:35 scale: photo-etched set number one

A set of photo-etched parts for a model of the American M7 self-propelled howitzer. The open hull of this vehicle is visible from every side on a model, so the thickness of the plastic shows there most of all; metal sheet, mesh grilles and brackets take the coarseness out of it. The fret is marked as the first of three that the brand offers for this subject.

The howitzer the British gave a name to

The vehicle came about in 1942 by rebuilding the chassis of the M3 medium tank into a carrier for the 105 mm M2A1 howitzer. The tall cylindrical ring mount for the anti-aircraft machine gun on the right side of the hull reminded British soldiers of a pulpit, and from that the nickname Priest took hold. The vehicle made its debut at El Alamein in the autumn of 1942 in the ranks of the British 8th Army, and it quickly became clear that a mobile howitzer could support an attack continuously rather than only from a firing position prepared in advance.

Advice on assembly and painting

Paint the inside of the hull and the ammunition racks before the side plates are fitted, otherwise you will reach the corners with neither a brush nor an airbrush. A light interior shade works better once a dark wash and a light dry brush have been worked into it after it has dried. Before any of that, the metal parts have to be degreased.

Who it suits

  • modelers of American and British equipment from North Africa
  • builders of scenes with an artillery firing position
  • advanced modelers who want to finish an open hull properly

Count on buying the kit and the painting materials to go with the set.

FAQ

From British soldiers. The tall ring mount for the machine gun on the side of the hull reminded them of a pulpit, and the name stuck for good.

No. Each one can be used on its own, but together they cover the vehicle more widely.

Paint the interior before the side plates are closed up. Once it is assembled you will not reach the recesses even with an airbrush.
