The Widowmaker - Custom Military Lego HD

About The Widowmaker - Vietnam War M35A2 Gun Truck This Brickmania reissue and redesign of the M55 “Quad-50” gun truck is based on the earliest configuration of the weapon system used by the four US Army ADA batteries that deployed to Vietnam in 1966-67-68. They were G-65th ADA, D-71st ADA, E-41st Arty and G-55th ADA. They were originally configured with the base M55 gun turret on the M20 wheeled trailer mount with the M35 2.5-ton as the ‘prime mover’. At times the M55 mount was ‘ground’ deployed by chopper to remote hilltops and firebases. When the M35 proved to be insufficient for carrying the combined weights of the mount, ammo and sandbags most M55s were refitted onto the Mxx 5-ton. They were primarily utilized for convoy escort and road security during the day and firebase protection at night. Typically manned by a Squad leader, driver, gunner and two cannoneers. This kit version is based on “The Widowmaker” of G-65th ADA that operated along the DMZ from Khe Sanh to Dong Ha in 1967.
