Hi,

Here at Le Mur de l'Atantique if you go to the 'Artillerie' section you have info about the diferent types of artilery pieces at the Atlantic wall.

The site it's in french but as it has lists, perhaps you can take the info you need - you can also use one of the web translators.

I watched that episode the other day they are 105mm you may see them as 10.5cm same thing, offical designation I dont know but i have seen them in kit form Im sure it was verlinden who made them. hope this helps

You want something like this:




They may have been slightly different in BoB (later version with muzzle brake), but this was the standard field artillery piece though out the war.

Mat further to my last post verlinden dont do that kit they do 150mm the one your after is th fh18.105mm it was the standard field gun for the germans.

As the others have already said : 10.5cm Le FH 18 !
And you are lucky because the model has just been released by AFV Club !

thnx everyone, i am after the one with the muzzle brake and the one from avf doesnt have the muzzle brake, i really want the one with the muzzle brake ( lol )
does tamiya have them other than verlinden becuase i dont think australia have verlinden

anyway all help is needed

thnx

In that case, substitute the AFV barrel with one from Jordi Rubio (#jr37)

I think that the FH18M has more modificatons than just the muzzle brake : wheels also and probably other things...
AZIMUTH sells resin bits to change your FH 18 to a FH18M. But I wonder if you can find that in Oz.

hi,
the Germans used a lot artillery like 88. You can buy an 88 at www.tamiya.com

Hey Matt, ya can get Verlinden in aus, the hobbyman can get verlinden, but MAN are they expensive, a set of 3 figs was gonna be $39.95, so ya can imagine how much an artillery gun would be cheers

k thnx davo, well does anyone know any other company that makes this gun with the muzzle brake

thnx

matt

Matt is it historical accuracy you are after, because B.O.B.may not be that accurate ive seen a few things in that show which i thought might not be historiclly accurate,remember episode 3 the guy standing on the turret of a sherman firing a .50 while a Jagpanther is only a few yards a way I really dont think so, alright good telly but not real,If you went with the AFC gun I dont think anyone would pick you up on it especially the guys here.all the best and good luck with the dio.have a Tooheys on me
