There are a number of kits available. I know Verlinden has one or two,
maybe more. I think Michael Roberts LTD has a few as well. Jaguar might
also have one or two. Mostly US Marines at Belleau Wood. There are also a number of Brit figures available in that scale, but they'd require a little modification.
I'd verify the scale of the weapon first though. Do you know, or can
you aquire the basic, overall dimensions of the real artillery piece?
Like length, width and height? If you can, multiply those dimensions by
.0625 (the scale multiplier for 1/16th scale, which is aquired by
dividing 1 by 16) and see if the result measures up to the model. For
example, if the real length is 180" (15'), 180 x .0625 = 11.25, or 11
1/4 inches. See if the length of the model adds up to that, and if it
does, then that's the right scale. If not, you may need to try a
different multiplier (like say 1 divided by 15, or 1 divided by
17), depending on how far off, and whether it's off on the big side or
the small side. Hopefully, it's within reasonable range of an actual,
popular scale.
