This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Towards the later Seventies the need of increate fire power of U.S. self-propelled guns led to the development of an 203 mm gun with extended barrel. The M-110 A2 has considerable improvements compared to its predecessors M-107 and M-110 A1 and is used by the U.S. Army and many NATO countries. The 203 mm gun has a firing range of more than 36 km and can be used with conventional grenades as well as nuclear ammunition. M-110's were widely used by Israel during the Lebanon crisis in the Eighties. During the Gulf war the allies used M-110's too. The gun can be dispatched by C-141 or C-5 giant cargo planes for immediate actions.
