Flames Of War American Parachute 75mm Artillery Battery New
Airborne divisions relied heavily on portable artillery to support their infantry after landing behind enemy lines. The M1A1 75mm pack howitzer was the perfect solution—lightweight, versatile, and designed to be broken down into parachute loads for easy transport. Dropped in bundles from aircraft, the guns could be quickly reassembled by their crews and brought into action, providing paratroopers with vital fire support against enemy positions.
Product Info:
This set includes four parachute or glider plastic 75mm pack howitzers with crew, four plastic five-hole medium bases, one plastic base insert sprue, and two unit cards for Flames of War.
About the Unit:
The 75mm pack howitzer gave airborne forces much-needed artillery that could be deployed almost immediately after landing. Whether dropped by parachute or delivered by glider, these guns allowed paratroopers to suppress enemy defenses, disrupt counterattacks, and hold ground until heavier support arrived. Their speed of assembly and deployment often made the difference in critical early hours of an airborne operation.
About the Models:
In 15mm scale, this plastic kit provides detailed howitzers with crew, bases, and inserts for easy assembly. Supplied unassembled and unpainted, the models let hobbyists recreate the unique look of U.S. airborne artillery units. The included unit cards ensure quick integration into your Flames of War force.
