- Information on the new product 1/72 US Army M-1 57mm anti-tank gun w/M-2 gun mount from Ukrainian Ace.
- The M-1 57mm gun is an anti-tank gun produced under license by the U.S. military in 1941, when it adopted the British Ordnance QF 6 anti-tank gun.
- The M-1 was produced from 1942 to 1945, with a total of 15,637 guns produced.
- Two-thirds of these were given to the U.S. Army, and the rest were given to the British, Soviet, and Free French armies as Lend-Lease.
- This gun was deployed on the European front, but at the time of deployment, ammunition production was not in time, and as a result, many units were forced to use only armor-piercing bullets even in situations where HE bullets were required. Also, it was not highly rated as there were few cases of encounters with German tanks on the battlefield.
- At the end of the war, the M-1 was judged to lack firepower as an anti-tank gun, and since it was a towed gun, it had poor maneuverability. He was immediately retired.
- The M-1, which is no longer used by the U.S. military, was received well when transferred to South Korea, Taiwan, Central and South American countries, etc., and was especially active in the defense line of the South Korean military in the early stages of the Korean War.
- This injection kit comes with new molded US military specification parts.
- When assembling, you can choose either towed state or operational state.
- Comes with a cannonball, ammunition box, ax and shovel as accessory parts.
