A finished collector's model of the American M7 Priest self-propelled howitzer in 1:72 scale, in the markings of the British artillery at El Alamein in 1942.
Responsibility details are not available.
The M7 came about by combining the proven chassis of the M3 medium tank with a 105 millimeter howitzer, which was given a place in an open fighting compartment. The aim was to bring artillery fire to places the towed guns reached slowly, that is, right behind the advancing tanks. To the right of the gun there grew a circular position for a heavy machine gun, and it was this that suggested a pulpit, hence the British nickname Priest. At El Alamein in 1942 the British artillery received these machines among the first, and it was their crews who spread the nickname.
The model in 1:72 scale is supplied finished, assembled and painted, with the markings of a British artillery unit at El Alamein in 1942. Nothing is glued or sprayed; it is enough to unpack it and stand it up. What is captured is a particular machine at a particular time and place, not a generic mock-up, which anyone assembling a display case by campaign or by unit will appreciate.
Collectors of Allied Second World War equipment will appreciate it, as will anyone putting together a display case around the North African campaign. The 1:72 scale keeps its proportion with other equipment and with aircraft of the same size. When carrying it, it is better to take the model by the bottom of the hull than by the barrel of the howitzer.
A finished model is supplied. It is not a kit, so the package contains no glue, paints or decals, and neither a display case nor a base is included, unless stated otherwise.
