Why this kit matters
The M55 203 mm Self Propelled Howitzer was developed by the United States during the early Cold War to provide mobile heavy artillery support. It was designed to deliver powerful long range fire while keeping pace with armoured units.
The M55 served with several armies during the 1950s and 1960s and shared many components with the M53. Its sheer size and open fighting compartment make it one of the most distinctive tracked artillery vehicles of its era.
