M18 Valhalla

165mm Self Propelled Howitzer

Well, I put out a forum asking if I should upload this, it got a yes. This is a very old build of mine, dating back to my Jim1The1Squid days when I still modeled the interior of my tanks. I never did quite like it though, and I couldn't figure out what all was wrong with it. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy what will probably be the last build I ever upload with a modeled interior.

General Description

The M18 was the very first self propelled howitzer produced by the company, but was never released due to not meeting requirements. It featured components similar to that of the American M109A6 Paladin, but also had differing features such as mounting smoke grenades and a CROWS atop the turret roof.
