Trumpeter Military Models 1/35 Soviet ML20 152mm M1937 Howitzer Kit

The 152 mm howitzer-gun M1937 (ML-20) was a Soviet gun-howitzer. The gun was developed by the design bureau of the plant no 172, headed by F. F. Petrov, as a deep upgrade of the 152-mm gun M1910/34, in turn based on the 152-mm siege gun M1910, a pre-World War I design by Schneider. It was in production from 1937 to 1946.   The ML-20 saw action in World War II, mainly as a corps / army level artillery piece of the Soviet Army.  Post World War II, the ML-20 saw combat in numerous conflicts during the mid to late twentieth century.
