At first I thought you meant :-

I built an Airfix model of that once

I had a Corgi toy version,

Remember being annoyed it did not actually fire off the launcher or do
anything other than sit there, at least the various Britains guns
actually fired something and could be used to annoy the cat.
I had two versions of the heavy howitzer, the inherited one fired a
spring launched lead shell, the later model had a light weight plastic
one which wasn't as much fun.
