The Trumpeter 1/35 122mm M-30 Howitzer Model 1938 Late Version from our 1/35 scale military vehicle model kits range range accurately recreates the real-life Soviet towed artillery from World War II. This plastic model kit requires paint and glue to complete.The 122mm howitzer M1938 (M-30) was introduced into the Soviet Army shortly before World War II to replace the obsolete World War I models. After the war, the M1938 became the standard divisional howitzer of the other Warsaw Pact armies. It was also sold to armies in other parts of the world. The M1938 is mounted on a box-section, solid-trail carriage fitted with a shield. The recoil system consists of a hydraulic buffer above the tube, and a hydropneumatic recuperator below it. The breechblock is a hinged screw type. Care must be taken to distinguish the M1938 from the 152mm howitzer M1943 (D-1) which uses the same basic carriage.Manufacturer: Trumpeter Model: 02344 Soviet 122mm M-30 Howitzer Model 1938 Late Version Scale: 1/35
