Don't know if anyone posted these yet so here it goes. BTW, I understand there will be some figures that will come with it.

What do you think?

I've pre-ordered this but will pass on the German things; too much of that out there.

The M3 75mm Gun Motor Carraige had a 40 degree traverse, 19 degrees to the left and 21 degrees to the right. The M3A1 version had a 42 degree traverse, 21 degrees each right and left.

Another unusual piece to be released by Figarti. Very nicely done. This company is on fire! What a terrific lineup they are putting forward for all us collectors.

Given Figarti's history I'll bet you can figure on a US version. These were the first tank destroyers deployed and were used in Tunisia and were replaced by M10s by the end of the campaign. The US Marines also used these from Guadalcanal onwards to Iwo Jima. The Marines called them SPMs (Self Propelled Mounts).

A very interesting model. It looks well executed.
