BABY BLOCKBUSTER

Brett Green builds Tamiya’s debut in their 1:48 scale M3 / M8 family -Howitzer Motor Carriage M8.

The 75 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 was a self-propelled howitzer vehicle of the United States in use during World War II. It was developed on the chassis of the M5 Stuart tank and was equipped with a 75mm M116 howitzer in an M7 mount.

In early 1944, production was phased out in favour of the M4 or M4A3 armed with the M101 howitzer, having better protection, firepower and mobility (albeit not as fast).
