A testbed prototype was developed and constructed at the Army's Rock Island arsenal in 1969 and firing tests began in 1970. Following initial firing tests, two prototype M198 howitzers were delivered to the Army in 1972, and following additional testing, the M198 howitzer entered full time production in 1978. The first Army M198 unit became operational in April of 1979. Since entering production, over 1,600 units have been manufactured, with the final units coming out of Rock Island in 1992.\u003cbr\u003eItem No : 02306\u003cbr\u003eItem Name : M198 155mm Medium Towed Howitzer (early version)\u003cbr\u003eBar Code : 9580208023069\u003cbr\u003eScale : 1:35\u003cbr\u003eItem Type : Static Armor\u003cbr\u003eModel Brief : Length: 351.4mm : Width: 75.9mm : Height: 107.8mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal Parts : 205pcs\u003cbr\u003eMetal Parts : 2X Stamping brass vaulted hydraulic lever cover\u003cbr\u003ePhoto Etched Parts : 1pcs\u003cbr\u003eFilm Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eResin Parts : n\/a\u003cbr\u003eTotal Sprues : 4 sprues plus left and right gun trails, 4 tyres\u003cbr\u003ePaint Schemes : Marine Air-Grond Task Force,\u003cbr\u003eAustralian Army\"\u003cbr\u003eReleased Date : 2009-01\u003cbr\u003eMore Features \"?
