M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage

Based on the M5 Stuart chassis, the M8 HMC was developed in response to infantry requests for a close support vehicle. With the original turret removed, the M8 had a larger open topped turret mounting a 75mm Howitzer. The M8 saw service in NW Europe and Italy during 1944 and served with HQ companies of medium tank battallions. It was later replaced by M4 Shermans mounting 105mm howitzers. Metal Cast Kit.
