The American M7 "Priest" HMC (Howitzer Motor Carriage), equipped with a 105 mm howitzer and built on the chassis of the M3/M4 battle tank, was from 1942 the standard Allied self-propelled howitzer in the Second World War.
The self-propelled howitzer that quickly followed the fighting units in order to provide tank protection and mobility received the nickname "Priest", due to the mount with the 50 cal. MG that looked like a church pulpit. This striking detailtogether with the fighting compartment are accurately represented in the model kit and reproduced in detail.
The kit that represents an M7 of later production with the M4 chassis includes an easy-to-assemble one-piece vinyl track and a soldier figure. The decals enable a vehicle of the US Army or the French Army tobe shown.
