I've not seen his show, so I'm assuming you mean this type.



I seem to recall that Monogram once made one to 1/32 scale many years ago but I know of no others (except a basic 1/72 model that Hasegawa included with a Jeep). There is a scratch-built example in the galleries over at Missing Lynx.

Hi Darkstar,
I was on the Tamiya US site and they have on it a 6 Pounder Gun which I'm sure is the Imperial way of measuring it. Anyway here is the link (I hope it works). http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/plastic/135militaryminiatureseries/35005.html
Hope this helps you, if they have it on there site it may just be getting a local hobby store to order it for you.
Cheers, Kenny.

Kenny,the 6 pounder was the U.K. version of the U.S. 57mm gun As far as the 37mm I don't think anyone makes a 1/35 version As far as I can recall there was a 1/72 one from hasegawa and a 1/48 from Bandai

Doesn't look too hard to scratch/kitbash. Get a couple of jeep wheels, the gun from Academys M3 Honey or Stewart, and then scratch the frame. The hard part would be R.Lee. After you dio it, it would be cool to send it to him. I'msure he'ld "shout about it somehow.

Rob,remember the Eager Beaver?

Yes, that deuce was one of my first "serious" model kits as a kid. I fondly remember the Shep Paine diorama sheet where he did the diorama "Mail Call".

Airfix's is just a rebox of the old Peerless/Max kit and has been reissued by Testors and Italeri. Not much to the actual gun, so I don't see the Monogram kit as being a bad option.
