                        Requesting information on really cool new Light Artillery Piece
                        Posted by Anonymous on Monday, March 15, 2004 9:07 PM
                        Everyone,

                        I found out about this really cool looking Light Artillery Piece in a trade magazine on die castings.

                        I don't remember what the exact name of it was, but I can describe it.

                        U.S. Army
                        155mm
                        It was mounted on a cruciform mount
                        The towing pintal was mounted on the muzzle brake

                        It is suppose to be a newer lighter version of the current 155.

                        Is there a kit available of this piece???
                        I fear no resin, so that's not an issue.

                        Thanks Everyone!!!

                        That is the new 155mm Lightweight Howitzer M777 still being tested. It has not been fielded yet. It is meant to replace the M198 in Light and Medium Divisions. It would make a cool model. Hopefully someone will make one in 1/35 plastic. I am still waiting on a plastic M198.

                        Here it is in firing configuration:

                        Thanks Robert and Gino.

                        I appreciate the pictures being posted so everybody can get a look at this piece of artillery.

                        Really cool, low, "mean" looking item.

                        Maybe someone will come out with a kit in the near future.
