155mm Model 17C Howitzer with Pneumatic Wheels

New, sealed and unbuilt. Based on the Schneider's 152mm Howitzer, the Canon de 155mm C was produced from 1915. The Model 1917 was fitted with a different breech which used bagged propellant instead of cartridge cases. Following the early WWII German victories, many 155mm Schneiders were captured many of which were later installed in 2nd line units and along the Atlantic Wall. Kit is cast in white metal.
