Artillery Prime Movers

[arkbuilder2012]

A project I'm wanting to start is an M1A1 155mm (M114) and its prime mover. The unit I'm depicting is the 113th FA and I do know they did not use HST' but had trucks. I have a hard top White 666 but don't know if that could be correct. Does anyone do a Diamond 968?

Thank you, found that right after I posted They do both the hard and soft cab versions. I suspect the soft cab version would be the more likely of the two. I also read that a Mack NO was the authorized prime mover for the M114 Wish some mainstream company would do one of those as well. I've seen the prices of the resin offerings if you can find them

THis is a hard top, but you may change your mind after seeing this and very well done I believe.

Well as it often happens I stand corrected. The unit in question in fact did use M5 HST'. I found a Hobby Fan kit which is stupid expensive but may be my only option to do an accurate rendition. Also came across a great picture of this unit towing a 155 across a pontoon bridge

I do have that Merit kit on Christmas wish list
