Looking for an M198 155mm towed Howitzer model

I have heard of one out there before, but forgot the company name and where to get it.

Thanks

I believe there's a resin one from an Australian company that will run you close to a $100 US, but I could be mistaken. I am still holding out hope that someone will make one of these in plastic, because I dearly want one on my shelf.

I'm sure someone else out there has the details on this one.

I just did a search for it on greatmodels.com and came up with a future release from MiniArt Studio in 1/35th. They dont give a price on it, plus I know nothing of this company. Maybe someone else will.

I did just a little searching with what falcon said, but I can't find any pics or a price on this one. Is it resin or plastic? Anybody have some more info?

Here is the Aussie model. It is pricey, about $100 US Dollars. http://www.mheaust.com.au/MHE/Resin/OZA/M198.htm

I haven't heard of any out there in plastic. Hope someone puts one out. AFV are you listening? It needs to go along with their other howitzer models (M114, M115, M102, etc.)

Wow $100 dollars a gun. I guess doing a diorama of my six gun battery is out the window.

Thanks for the link

If it wasn't for the price, a battery set up would make for one cool diorama. I'm trying to keep hope alive that someone, someday will put out a kit of this in plastic! I know there are more than a few of us that would like one. Ah, well, if wishes were fishes...

as far as I know, there is only one resin offering, but maybe someone else out there knows somehting else. Price, as above, is pretty steep. Too much for me anyways. I hope you end up getting one, or even better for all of us, I hope someone releases one in plastic.
