Based on a widened M4 Sherman chassis, it mounted a huge 155mm cannon nicknamed the \"Long Tom\". While it arrived too late for significant service in WWII, the M40 demonstrated its tremendous power during the Korean War, providing long-range indirect fire support against enemy positions from distances of over 23 kilometres, a vital asset for ground troops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/35 scale Tamiya kit is an expressive and highly detailed reproduction of the M40. The open-topped fighting compartment is precisely recreated, and the massive 155mm cannon can be elevated and traversed. To create a complete diorama straight from the box, a full crew of eight soldiers in firing preparation poses is included, along with shell racks and ammunition. Photo-etched parts and easy-to-use belt-type tracks complete this stunning kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe huge 155mm cannon is movable, just like the real vehicle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe breech block can be assembled in the open or closed position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear spade and work platform are movable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo-etched parts for a sharp finish on the engine grilles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA full crew of eight figures in firing poses is included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessory parts such as shell racks and ammunition are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealistic and easy-to-use T80 belt-type tracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 305mm (12.01\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 91mm (3.58\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x M40 Self-Propelled Gun Plastic Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e8x Crew Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Photo-Etched Fret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set Of Belt-Type Tracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set Of Shell \u0026amp; Charge Accessories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS Plastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426724163785,"sku":"10032271","price":107.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426426171593,"sku":"10032271","price":122.85,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/648ffb9662524f2b856eaae7caab41fe.webp?v=1763345726","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-35-u-s-m40-self-propelled-gun-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
