Howdy,
Yesterday I had a visit from Bep (new member here) and we where talking about modeling,
He is building the old Esci Sd Kfz 10 + M-18 Howitzer kit, now is it so that I also have that kit on my shelf and after seeing his kit I feel the urge in my fingers to give it a go.
I know that this is a ancient kit and not up to current standard, so what? it looks like fun. Anyway I can find plenty pictures of the Sd. Kfz. 10, but none of the howitzer.
I am hoping that someone has a URL where I can find some pictures of this gun so that I can compare it with the kit.

Hard subject to find. Here is a link to a large picture of one in a musuem and the link to the page which has a little information about it.
the following pic is of at "M18 15cm Medium Field Howitzer " used by the german army
and I am not sure if it is what you are looking for because it doen't seem to look much like the picture of your kit.

Ronny, I also posted an answer to this over on M-L, but I'll repeat it here as it may be of help to others (especially now that Italeri have reissued that gun).

BTW, I have the ESCI gun too, only the version without the half-track.
