The 105 mm Howitzer Motor Gun Carriage M7 was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle produced during World War II.  It was initially built on the M3 Grant medium tank chassis but later was built on the M4 Sherman chassis.  It was given the Priest nickname while in the service of the British Army due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring.  While the first M7s were produced for the American Army, production was soon diverted to support the Lend-Lease program.  M7s served with the British in North Africa, Italy and early in the Normandy campaign.  A total of 3,490 M7s were built and they proved to be reliable weapons, continuing to see service in the U.S. and Allied armies well after the conclusion of World War II.  This older, out-of-production model of the M7B1 105 mm Gun is an all plastic, easy assembly kit that includes instructions and authentic markings.  The model box is in excellent condition.  Never started and 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions inventoried.
