This series is called High Detail and it does indeed have high detail. This comes mostly assembled. Good thing because if this was a model it would be difficult to assemble. The small pieces would end up crocked and backwards. Now a bit of history.
The M59 Longtom was the main piece of heavy artillery used by the US Army in WWII. It was highly accurate and fired a 95 lb shell 15 miles. The US had a very advanced system for fire control. Artillery would be spread out in groups of 4 or 5. Radio would be used to call in artillery at coordinates X and Y. The Germans complained that the US was using 155mm guns as sniper rifles.









Now this one is a cracker of a cannon, so much power and a very impressive piece, congrats !~
