Australian M2A2 105mm Howitzer
John Myszka

This is the same type of 105mm howitzer that was used in South Vietnam by the US Army as well as the Australian Royal Artillery.  I believe the only difference between the M1A2 used in World War 2 and Vietnam is an improved barrel.  The Italeri kit of this kit is available and makes a very attractive model of the real thing.

I have been told that the difference between an M2A1 and M2A2 is that the M2A2 has a thickening of the end of the barrel, to take account of barrel wear and tear at that point.
