Quite nicely done actually, but it might be a better fit on an M38.

The RR should be a Davy Crockett!

But if Masterbox ever makes these in 1/24 or 1/25...

The RR is actually the relatively short lived (in US service, other than for avalanche control) 105mm M27. I've seen them on M38s and M38A1s, but the jeep in the pic has a square windshield which would make it a WW2 example. I'm not sure they ever got to mount M27s, but someone here will know for sure.

It is a reboxed MPC Kit, based on a Korean War vehicle. The kit dates back to 1971 based on an earlier 'Hogans Heroes' Jeep from 1968 (no sign of Bob Crane's hidden video camera though).
