M-40 155mm SPG. Roco HO.
A little bit of a cheat here, most of these old Roco's come partially assembled, where you add accessories and paint. The M40 had a 155mm gun built on a modified late Sherman chassis. Used at the end of WW 2 and in the Korean war.
I had had one of these as a kid, my fathers cousins husband collected them, mostly German vehicles, this was out of place so he gave it to me. I found this one on ebay.
I always liked those little Roco kits. Nice looking model!
I love it!
I have over 350 ROCO miniatures. I started collecting them as "toys" when I was about 8 or 9 years old and the only reason I don't STILL buy them is because I never see them! Heck, there was only one place I saw them "back in the day." That was at the great Bob Steel's Hobbies; long gone from here in Indianapolis.
Robert, your post brought back a bunch of great memories!
@roofrat
Woolworth's by me carried them back in the before time.@mikegolf.
That's cool. We had no Woolworth store that we went to.
But I managed to accumulate a good number, anyhow. LoL!
