The T-92 tank is the lasted 76mm gun tank in US Army inventory.
The gun has been cranked into the traveling position.
The crew extends the barrel into the firing position.
The tans are too far forward for firing and must move back to avoid the blast.
They are not at a safe location.
The infantry has also pulled back to a safe location.

I've stood next to the one at the Fort Sill OK Museum, the problem with that beast (besides it's size) was that the enemy always knew where they were. Until we down sized our nukes to fire from conventional artillery pieces it was always an issue. Very nice model you have there!
Yes, Don M it is a big beast. I have seen them at the National Museum of Nuclear Energy and at Yuma Proving Grounds. Very impressive. I think part of the reason they were kept for so long was the show the potential enemy that we had nuclear artillery in the area as a type of warning. But yes, likely would draw a lot of attention on Day 1 of WWIII.
