I posted photos of the M102 105mm Howitzer.
I encourage you redlegs, cannon cockers, gun bunnies, etc. who know about this piece of equipment to make comments on each photo so I can add them as captions.

Rob,
Fabulous pics, and timely. Thanks a bunch. I have been working on my AFV Club M102, and these will help a lot. I especially like the pics of the left side sight mounts, as I launched half of mine into oblivion while removing it from the sprue. I will probably have to scratch the piece, and the pictures will help a lot. Thanks.
(For anyone who cares: The sprues are horrible in this kit. There are many tiny and delicate parts held by these thick but very short pour gates. My sprue cutters can't get in to cut them without damaging the parts. When you try to cut them off with a knife, you gamble on launching them into orbit every time. I will be using a razor saw from now on.)

Thanks Rob, brings back fond memories, although mine didn't have the roll bar.
