[SWA-12] 1/76 US M12 155mm Gun mortor

Step back into the pivotal moments of World War II with the Fujimi 1/76 US M12 155mm Gun Motor, a detailed plastic model kit of the formidable self-propelled artillery piece. Nicknamed "Doorknocker" and "King Kong" by Allied troops, the M12 earned its reputation for its devastating effectiveness against hardened enemy fortifications.

Developed in 1942 on the robust M3 Lee tank chassis, the M12 was armed with a powerful 155mm gun, a U.S. variant of the renowned French GPF. This heavy hitter played a crucial role in the European theater, providing vital fire support during campaigns like the Normandy landings and the breaching of the Siegfried Line. Its design included a rear-mounted spade to absorb the immense recoil during firing, a testament to its raw power. Often deployed alongside its companion M30 Cargo Carrier, which transported additional ammunition, the M12 was a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

This Fujimi kit captures the essence of this WWII workhorse, offering modelers the chance to recreate a piece of military history. The precision-molded plastic parts ensure a rewarding building experience, allowing for an accurate representation of the M12's distinctive features.
