1/16 US 155mm Long Tom Cannon Travel Mode: A Masterpiece of Heavy Artillery

Command the road with the massive and meticulously detailed 1/16 scale US 155mm Long Tom Cannon in Travel Mode. Reaching an impressive overall length of 800mm, this high-precision model replicates the legendary M1 "Long Tom," the backbone of heavy corps artillery during WWII and the Korean War. Captured in its transport configuration, this model is an essential centerpiece for large-scale military collectors and diorama builders.

Monumental Engineering & Historical Fidelity

• Exquisite 1/16 Detail: At this expansive scale, the mechanical complexity of the Long Tom is captured with exquisite fidelity. Every technical feature—from the massive 45-caliber barrel and the intricate breech mechanism to the heavy-duty M1 carriage and limber—is rendered with stunning architectural clarity. In Travel Mode, the model showcases the folded trails, secured barrel, and specialized towing hardware used to move this 15-ton giant across the battlefield.
• Premium High Detail Resin: Crafted from professional-grade High Detail Resin White, this model offers an ultra-smooth surface finish and exceptional edge sharpness. This premium material is specifically chosen to hold the minute details of the hydraulic recoil cylinders, pneumatic tires, and the industrial bolt-and-rivet textures that define 20th-century heavy weaponry.
• Intelligent Hollowed Design: To ensure this 800mm-long masterpiece remains manageable and easy to display, it features a sophisticated hollowed design. This engineering choice preserves the structural integrity and "heavy-duty" appearance of the artillery piece while reducing weight, making it compatible with 1/16 scale prime movers and transport dioramas.

A Canvas for Tactical Artistry

Unpainted for Total Creative Freedom: Arriving in a professional unpainted finish, the Long Tom serves as a blank canvas for your historical vision. The resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers and specialized military palettes:

• The European Theater: Apply the classic Olive Drab scheme with white stars, perfect for depicting a unit moving toward the Siegfried Line.
• The Korean Conflict: Recreate the weathered, mud-caked appearance of heavy artillery navigating the rugged terrain of the 1950s.
• Realistic Weathering: The large scale is ideal for advanced techniques like oil-paint rendering on the barrel, dust accumulation on the carriage, and metallic wear on the towing rings to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
