Italeri 1/72 M12 GMC Gun Motor Carriage Kit Details

This 1/72 scale Italeri kit reproduces the M12 GMC Gun Motor Carriage with careful attention to the vehicle's wartime layout. The real M12, used by the U.S. Army, was built on the M3 Lee/Grant chassis and mounted the 155 mm French GPF gun, giving the model a clear link to the original mobile artillery role. The open-topped fighting compartment and crew positions are represented to reflect the machine's operational silhouette.

Service Role and Model Interest

The M12 GMC served as a mobile artillery platform in several major WWII operations thanks to its mobility and heavy gun. For builders, the Italeri kit captures the mechanical logic of the original machine, providing parts and details that mirror the vehicle's historical construction and function.
