More Howitzer

These howitzers were used by the US Army in World War One.

At first they were assigned as corp artillery.

Post World War One they Army wanted a 105mm howitzer but the Congress would not approve the expense, even though there was an excellent 105mm howitzer available.

So these were assigned to divisions to increase their firepower and supplement their French 75s.  Roco 2 1/2 ton truck for size comparison.

Here is the Roco 105mm howitzer for a size comparison.

This is a 3D printed model sold by Fidelis Models as Filament Fighters.  The front shield does have some striations visible but these can be sanded down or extra layers of paint can help to fill them in.

At about 24 inches away the striations on a painted model are almost invisible and I suspect a camouflaged model would show them even less.
