BRAND NEW TAMIYA 1:35 M40 SPG
amiya has announced a forthcoming
1:35 scale model of the M40, a brand
new subject for the Military Miniature
Series. Only the suspension parts from
Item 35346 are reused.
The M40 was a significant step in U.S. Army
artillery mechanization, pairing the M1 155mm
gun with the proven M4 Sherman chassis.
Armour was light given its intended use as a
long range weapon (they were effective up to
23.5km) away from the front line, while the
layout was changed from the M4 to allow a big
fighting compartment at the rear to accomodate
the big gun. It was fitted with smooth horizontal
volute spring suspension (HVSS). Over 400
were produced before the end of WWII; although
they never fought in the conflict, one example
of their T83 prototype did. The M40 served in
the Korean War, and was eventually replaced by
the M53.
About the Model:
• This is a 1:35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
Length: 305mm, width: 91mm.
• Tamiya designers studied an M40 at the
U.S. Army Field Artillery Museum in Fort Sill,
Oklahoma for this highly accurate recreation.
• Realistic surface textures include cast
differential cover and hull side steel plate.
• The big 155mm gun is recreated with aplomb:
where possible, the construction method of
the actual weapon is copied. Depictions of
hydraulic dampers include metal outer tubes
for a super-realistic finish.
• The rear gate can be assembled up or down
(when the gun was red it was usually down,
and the crew on it or outside).
• Individual pulley parts are included.
We will have more information about this
exciting release in the next issue of MMI.

been used as one the BM-14 and

Dragon’s 1:35 scale Hetzer family is being expanded with a number of new kits. The latest is the 15cm
s.IG.33/2 (Sf) auf Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, which was a tracked infantry support vehicle. The gun mounted
on a Hetzer chassis was the well-known 15cm s.IG.33/2 howitzer, Germany’s standard heavy infantry
gun throughout WWII. Czech manufacturer BMM converted six vehicles and built an additional 24 based
on the Bergepanzer 38(t) recovery vehicle from December 1944 onwards. This vehicle featured a raised
superstructure, while the mount and shield for the s.IG.33/2 was the same as that used on a self-propelled
howitzer based on the Pz.Kpfw.38(t) chassis.
This new 1:35 scale kit required numerous new parts to pull off a realistic depiction of this vehicle. The kit
has a brand new upper hull, superstructure, fighting compartment, idler wheel, storage bin and associated
interior detail such as ammunition racks. Furthermore, two options are available to fit out the aft of the
fighting compartment. At the rear is a new exhaust and muffler, which comes with a photo-etched guard. This
self-propelled howitzer has hitherto never been available in plastic, so Dragon’s creation makes yet another
Hetzer variant readily obtainable by all.
This kit also features brand new NEO Tracks Plastic injection "NEO Tracks" w/pre-moulded lengths result
in convenient assembly from minimum number of pieces but with full detail!
As well as the regular Hetzer tank destroyer already offered by Dragon, modellers can now add this
support vehicle with heavy 15cm gun to their collections.
