T19 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage Diorama	Dragon, 1/35 scale
by John Nottestad

Description

Dragon's 1/35 scale T19 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage is not in production, or so it would seem. When I went to look for this kit in summer of 2014, I had to turn to ebay for it as it was nowhere to be found.  

Dragon’s kit is good, the only T19 I found, and is labelled as one of their Smart Kits.  However, it lacks some details that I added in aftermarket kits.   

• Decals for front bumper and engine sides are Archer, M2/M3 Halftrack registration codes

• Pinup girl poster is from Archer, Pin-Ups

• PE Sets were used extensively.  Eduard 36123 T19 105mm HMC

• Griffon L35A036 Engine Compartment and Hood M2/M3

• Archer M2/M3 Halftrack Instruments and Placards

• Unspent shells, and those being carried are from AFV Club AG35030 US 105mm howitzer ammo

• The spent 105mm cases are from RB Model, 35P05, 12 shells in each package.

• The spent.50 cartridges scattered about are from RB Model, 35P35.

• Antenna Base is from LionRoar, 1/35 US Military Vehicle Antenna Unit Base (4pcs) #LE35115, the antenna itself is stretched sprue
