Historic Precision: The M107 Self-Propelled Gun in 1/35 Scale

The Tamiya 37021 kit brings to life the M107, a self-propelled gun with a storied history from its development in 1956 to its pivotal role during the Vietnam War. Known for its impressive 175mm long-caliber gun, the M107 offered unparalleled range and mobility, making it a crucial asset during the Battle of Khe Sanh in 1968. This 1/35 scale model replicates the vehicle's distinctive features, including the open-top hull and hydraulic spade, capturing the essence of this artillery piece used extensively by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces until 1975.

Model Features and Building Experience

This model kit is an evolution of the classic Italeri design, enhanced with new parts and Tamiya's precision engineering. Builders will appreciate the detailed jerry can racks, hydraulic pipe connections, and realistic belt-type tracks that can be painted and cemented for authenticity. The kit includes vinyl tubing for hydraulic pipes and offers improved parts fit for a seamless build. Additionally, it comes with Tamiya figures, M16A1 rifle replicas, and various accessories to enrich your diorama displays.

Display and Customization Potential

The kit provides options for two Vietnam War-era markings and allows modelers to position the rear spade in raised or lowered configurations even after assembly. These features, along with the accessory set, make the M107 not just a standalone model but also a centerpiece for larger diorama projects, offering endless possibilities for display and customization.
