Spinning a high-quality, photorealistic 3D model of the Tank 155mm Gun MC M40 with 155mm gun M1A1 and Howitzer Motor Carriage M43 Long Tom featuring a 203mm gun Howitzer, this meticulously crafted model is ready for use in any project. Originally created in 3ds Max 2013 using Vray for rendering, the package includes an archive with 2D and 3D drawings of the tank dismantled into small details, arranged in order: complete, without tracings, without rollers, body separately, booking scheme, truck, rollers, and tool. All measurements are in millimeters as per military museum specifications and accompanying photos. The 3D model was created in AutoCAD for these drawings. The model boasts optimized polygon efficiency, easily modifiable colors, full texturing with applied materials, and no need for cleanup before rendering. Additionally, the scene requires no special plugins to open and is available in various formats including 3ds Max 2013, OBJ (Multi Format), 3DS (Multi Format), FBX (Multi Format), STL, and DWG (2D drawnings and 3D model). Perfect for creating military, battle, or historical scenes, the M40/M43 is an American tier 8 self-propelled gun. Development began in spring 1944 due to a shortage of M1918 guns for the M12, resulting in a vehicle based on the M4 Sherman with HVSS-type suspension. The design allowed interchangeability between the 155mm M1 gun and 203mm M1 howitzer (with the latter designated as the M43). First used during Operation Zebra, a total of 418 M40 and 48 M43 vehicles were produced, with 24 additional M40s reequipped. The M40/M43 SPG is built on a widened and lengthened M4A3 medium tank chassis and designated as the M40 Gun Motor Carriage in versions that mount the 155mm M1A1 Long Tom gun, while those with the 8-inch (203mm) Howitzer are classified as M43 Howitzer Motor Carriages. The M40/M43 development leads to the M53/M55.
