Very cool! I'm in the middle of doing a scene with both of those kits! Arrgg lol I guess lot of people will be doing similar ones until a 90mm gun gets released!

Not only well-done, but an aspect of history that's sorely under-represented: captured vehicles. Lots of Wehrmacht Bis and Russian captures, but rarely something like the Sd.Kfz. 7 I have seen with the CAP lettering on its number driven by a GI.

Alternatively, and i've got the images to prove it, the HST towing an 88 in Spanish service.

I really like the combination you've done - makes a great change from the usual and extremely well-executed...

Nice one Malcolm. Excellent idea to pair these two for something different, and the snow capturing the two of them is really well done.
Agree 100% with you on the Dragon 88. I built their 37 3īnī1 kit and its definately the finest model Ive ever built. Would also recommend it to anybody.

Hi Malcolm

Great job with this!! I have this same idea in mind but with a Trumpeter sFH18 15cm Howitzer instead of the 8,8 cm.

Really well done sir and one for the 'you don't see this everyday' list.

cheers

Bob
