Italeri 6581 - 1/35 Scale M-1 155mm Howitzer Kit with Crew and Six Figures  [IT-6581S]

Overview of the Italeri M-1 155mm Howitzer 1/35 (Italeri 6581)

The Italeri 1/35 scale model of the M-1 155mm Howitzer gives hobbyists a faithful representation of a pivotal U.S. field gun. First entering service in 1942, the M-1 saw extensive use in World War II and continued to serve through later conflicts due to its sturdy design and adaptability.

Why This Kit Appeals to Scale Modellers

Model builders will appreciate the kit's focus on authentic detail and period accuracy. The original howitzer's versatility is reflected in the kit text, including the M-1's operational range of 14,600 meters. This makes the model a strong display piece for military collections and dioramas.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

The Italeri kit ships with six crew figures to populate the gun position and a color instruction sheet to guide paint and assembly. Shells are not included, so modellers can choose to add aftermarket rounds or leave the breech empty for realism.
