The Collectors Showcase has been producing high quality tanks as part of their collection for three years now, primarily focusing on the German side of WWII. They have now started to add focus to producing the more American tanks and soldiers. As a part of their upcoming release, Collectors Showcase is releasing two varients of a M8 Stuart Howitzer Tank. They are releasing a Winter version and a Normandy version of the M8 Stuart Howitzer. Each military miniature M8 Stuart Howitzer includes one extra thrown track, so that the M8 can be displayed as running or disabled. Also includes 3 soldiers and a full turret interior. Each piece is listed for $155.00 USD available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com. This set is limited to a run of 300 vehicles.
Also as part of Collectors Showcase's February 2010 release, they are releasing the Mosby Cavalry pieces described in this newsletter and a Napoleonic French Artillery line with Cannons available. All available for pre-order at www.BgsToySoldiers.com.
The M8 Stuart Howitzer also known as the M8 Scott and Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 was designed on the General Stuart VI, M5 light tank. The M5 turret was replaced on the M5 on the M8 Howitzer and an open top turret was used in the design with a 75mm M2 Howitzer gun mount. The M8 Stuart Howitzer was also armed with a .50 cal machine gun, seen in the model above. The M8 Stuart was used throughout WWII by allied forces. The M8 Scott also saw action in the First Indochina War.
