1/35 Soviet 122mm Howitzer M-30 1938 [Early Version]

The 122mm Howitzer M1938 (M-30) was introduced into the Soviet Arm shortly before World War II to replace the obsolescent World War I models. After the war the M1938 became the standard divisional howitzer of the other Warsaw Pact armies. It was also sold to armies in other parts of the world. The M1938 is mounted on a box-section, so its carriage is fitted with a shield. The recoil system consists of a hydraulic buffer above the tube, and a hydro pneumatic recuperator below it. The breechblock is a hinged screw type. Care must be taken to distinguish the M1938 from the 152mm howitzer M1943 (D-1) which uses the same basic carriage.
