What vehicle(s) pulled the Long Tom (155mm) artillery piece ? (1 Viewer)

That's my question.

I have the old Britains 155mm sets and will likely get the new 21st Century 155mm when they're released.

Thanks,

Carlos

I plan to see if what the K&C duce and a half looks like towing the 21st century 155 and 8-inch. The Minichamps duce and a half is small for the Britains 155. I use a K&C duce and a half to act as the ammo carrier for the new M12. Looks good to me.

Thanks for the link Michael,

a M4 tractor ??? Boy I don't think this baby will be produced by any manufacturer soon.



The article said it was also pulled by heavy trucks. I guess I'll need to press my KC 2 1/2 trucks into service too.

I'll tell you one thing, with K&C's improvements to track detail, see through windows and interior cab detail, if K&C did build the M4 tractor, it would be spectacular.

True Louis,

But would Andy see this as economically viable and in fact, would the market (us collectors) buy it in enough quantities to make it profitable. I know it's the same question asked differently. I would buy it

Add a K&C 155mm field piece and you got yourself a deal with me. I would buy just the tractor. If you notice one of the vehicles towing the long tom was also a cat. SeaBees used cats in the Pacific too. Maybe engineering equipment could be a new series? The military had a wide variety of service, soft, vehicles and I think the market is there, but that's just me. I still want some.
