Trumpeter 1:35 - PLA Type 59 103mm Towed Field Gun - Plastic model kit #02335
The 130mm towed field gun (M-46) was manufactured in the Soviet Union in the 1950s. Its Chinese variant is called the Type 59. This manually loaded artillery piece had a range of more than 27km which made it one of the longest range artillery systems of its time.
China produced three versions of the M-46: the Type 59, the Type 59-1 and the Type GM-45. The Type 59 is a licensed version of the Soviet M-46. The Type 59-1 combines the 130mm ordnance of the Type 59 with the Type 60 carriage and has a gun of much lower weight - 6.3 t. The Type GM-45 was designed for the export market and has a maximum range of 39 km.

Trumpeter 1:35 - PLZ-83A SPH - Plastic model kit #05536
The Type 83 SPH is a Chinese 152 mm self-propelled standard heavy howitzer. The gun entered service in the early 1980s and was used in Korea and against the Russians. The Type 83, armed with a modified version of the Type 66 gun, was the first modern self-propelled gun in service with the People's Liberation Army of China. Overall 78 guns were built until the end of production in 1990.
The Type 83 SPH was made from steel. It was also armed with a 12.7mm machine gun and a hand-held Rocket-propelled grenade launcher. The vehicle had a maximum speed of 55 km/h.
Soon after entering service, the Type 83 SPH was determined to be obsolescent and China started to develop new systems.
