The Soviets saw how successful the self propelled guns were for the Germans and the need to mount larger weapons persuaded them to produce the SU series.

• SU-152

Soviet Union's SU-76 Samokhodnaya Ustanovka updated

The Soviet Union produced over 12,000 of the SU-76 self propelled guns during World War II. They weren't popular with their crews and earned the nicknames Suka (bitch) and Golozhopil Ferdinant (naked ass Ferdinand) which was a reference to it being similar to the German Ferdinand tank destroyer.

The United States was able to bring to bear some very accurate self propelled artillery in the last months of the war. The M40 and M43 Gun Motor Carriages were well liked by their crews and were even nicknamed "long range snipers" because of their accuracy.

United States' M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage updated

The United States needed close support for the troops and eventually decided upon the M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage in the early years of the war. It was a 75 mm Howitzer mounted in a large turret on top of an M5 Light Tank chassis.

The Bishop resulted from the British seeing the German Army using self propelled guns with success in North Africa. However, the Bishop was very tall which left it at a disadvantage in the dessert.
I've now updated the historical information for the Bishop.

Britain's Archer Self Propelled 17 pdr updated

Britain's Archer self propelled gun was of a unorthodox design, but was well liked by its crews by it's low silhouette and ability to quickly move out of position as the gun faced towards the rear.

I also purchase a Dragon 1/72 scale 10.5 cm StuH.42 Ausf G. This is the first StuH that Dragon has released. One can only hope that they branch out into other models other than the numerous Tigers, King Tigers and StuGs that they've produced.
