Figarti Miniatures soon will be releasing a British M-7 Priest Desert with Crew pictured here. This exquisite piece includes the self propelled 105mm Howitzer (Priest), crew, and shells. The military miniature from Figarti retails for $229.00 is 1:30th scale and limited.
We at www.BgsToySoldiers.com have been allocated between 2 and 3 of this piece. We have already pre-sold 2 and once we are confirmed for 3, will put the last piece up for sale also. With Figarti pieces, they are so limited and highly sought after at this time, that we are pre-selling all our alloted sets as we make them available to the collector. We have been pushing Figarti to supply us with more sets of each new release. We will also be stocking more of the already released figures soon. Figarti is a great investment at this time, as they are making significantly less quantities then demand calls for from the collectors community.
The M7 was an American made self propelled 105mm Howitzer, created during World War II. The British ordered 500 of the artillery vehicle and dubbed the howitzer the Priest. The M7 Self Propelled Howitzer was an armored vehicle that used the M3 Lee Chassis stripped down to carry the mobile artillery vehicle. The M7 was built to use the American armament standard. This led to issues with British standards, forcing the British to have to supply the M7 seperately. The M7 was used through the North African campaign and some of the Italian campaign before being replaced by the 25 pounder Sexton.
