Italeri 7076 M12 Gun Motor Carriage (1/72)

M12 Gun Motor Carriage in 1/72 scale by the renowned Italian manufacturer Italeri is a precisely detailed plastic model kit representing one of the most important American self-propelled guns of World War II. The Italeri 7076 set allows you to recreate the legendary M12 self-propelled howitzer, which played a significant role in many Allied military operations on the European front, including the Normandy landings and the battles on the Siegfried Line.

The original M12 Gun Motor Carriage was based on the chassis of the M3 Lee medium tank. Armed with a powerful 155 mm M1917 howitzer, it provided effective support for infantry and armored units. Although only about 100 units of this vehicle were produced, it was regularly used by the United States Army from 1942, particularly during 1944-1945, in the final phase of World War II. The vehicle was mainly used for destroying fortifications and engaging strategic targets from long range.
