It a howitzer, not a tank, so if you look in artillery references it’ll help more than a tank one would. That beast is way before my time on a gun so, I can’t say I’d be much help? Try looking at the Fort Sill web page, Ft. Sill in Oklahoma is the home of artillery, that’s were we train to be artillerymen. There is all sorts of goodies there to check out.

In my motor pool gallery there are photos of an M578 light recovery vehicle. It uses the same chassis and will be a help for references for the lower portion of the vehicle.

I have the m-110 also…but i picked up a verlinden…conversion kit for mine…the cast resin barrel is a lot better than the plastic tube ya get from italeri…for some reason …i always get kits where the barrell sprue is warped…the verlinden set gives me the option of the long barrel or short one…just waiting for photo etch…and tracks to start mine…one of MANY projects…

the m110 is an 8 inch self propelled howitzer. I think it was first used in 'Nam and served until at least the 80’s. i didn’t like it because it was usually open to the elements. It also had a single spade that could have come off a bulldozer! it fired seperate loading ammo and the rounds (bullets) weighed 200lbs.
