This model kit, represented in 1/48 scale, recreates the 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M8. The M8 was a self-propelled howitzer vehicle, used by United States during World War II. The M8, developed on the same chassis as the one used on the M5 Stuart tank, came equipped with a M116 howitzer in an M7 mount. Around 1,800 M8 units were-manufactured, from September 1942 to early 1944. M8’s saw action in Italy, Western Europe, and the Pacific, and supported U.S. infantry until the end of the war.
 
This kit features a completely new kit design based upon the intensive research of the actual vehicle. This incredibly detailed 1/48 scale model includes decal and schemes for two variations and also includes a full body fixed posed figure. The metal chassis weights also give the model a more realistic heavy feel.
