Now this is a surprising release!


Vulcan Ordnance QF 2 Pounder British Anti-Tank Gun on Terry Ashley's PMMS

Finally a replacement for the old (insert vendor here - I'm drawing a blank even though I've got the kit ) resin version of the same gun.

That's a sweet looking kit Rudi !
Hopefully "special edition" doesn't end up meaning "limited production" and or "impossible to find/get" !!
Thanks for the heads up, bring on more artillery !!!
Cheers

Looks very nice, could well find it's way onto my shelf behind a C15 - or even onto a portee.

THis release is, indeed, welcome, but the benefits of a styrene kit are somewhat contradicted by the heaviness of some of the smaller parts. visible on the sprues and in the build-up.
The Sovereign 2000 kit isn't that old and is a fair bit nicer than what I can see of this kit. The Sovereign kit has crisper detail and more of it compared to this release. Depending on the price of the injection kit, I'd say that there's a place for both kits in people's stashes. I'll probably buy a couple for various projects.

Good on Victory Models for bringing it out.
