Self Propelled Artillery

[The Big Gimper]

Israel’s Huge L-33 Ro’em.

This machine was basically a large box placed on top of a Sherman lower hull, surrounding a 155 mm howitzer, with a Cummins V8 diesel engine providing the power.

If only one of the decent manufacturer's would make a 35th kit of this to complete my IDF collection.

Surprised that no one has aside from the AEF Designs kit from long ago.

I have a copy of that one.

I have a copy of that one.

That is of the early L-33 version - no bustle at the back of the hull.

Reviews I have read of AEF kits were scathing ... but I've had no real complaints of their products.  Guess the others didn't have modelling skills.

[Story]

Objekt 327: T-72 fitted with a 2A36 152mm gun. Only one prototype was constructed. The armament occupied an open top tower, and it was completely automated, while the crew was protected fully within the hull. After initial promise when started, by the early 1980s it still had nagging mechanical faults, and it was shelved for the 2S19-B Msta

The Finnish Patria is working on integrating their 155K98 gun design with wheeled vehicles. Apparently, the Sisu 8×8 is a likely candidate.

 Hello,
These are still missing. I don't know if this exists or is a photomontage. Leopard  2 AGM.
