Dragon have just announced another M4 Variant. Not, it has to be said, earth-shatteringly original but a useful release nonetheless. The New M4 is: 6548 - M4 (105) Howitzer Tank. The Full report can be seen:

Nice to see some of the detail. No sign of a breech for the 105mm though .

Best I can remember the aiming poles on the side were a stack of 5, in 3 , 2, 1 formation, but I'd have to check.

Great to see this coming along though.

I'd like to see the markings on this. Hope they remember the PTO.

Jim, I can't see what ISN'T original as a release regarding this one. To the best of my knowledge this is the first ever tooling of the M4 105 Assualt Gun in plastic. No one has released a late hulled M4 before so I'd say this is an original release and a welcome one given the usage of these and some of the schemes they appeared in. This will be very useful for early Isreali vehicles too.
