It’s probably not that surprising that AFV Club have decided to do this kit ( number AF35181 ) as the M5 basically took the M2 105mm Howitzer and swapped the barrel for the 3in barrel of the T9. Likewise the M6 carriage was pretty much just the 105mm’s M1 carriage with a different shield. But I’m sure there will be plenty of Allied Armour fans happy to see this.
