Hey guys,
II just finished Revell Germany's m7 Priest and I want to put a gun crew in it. Can you guys recommend any kits that include a 105mm howitzer gun crew?

Legend makes 3 sets of M7 crewman, but they're designed to fit the Academy kit. I'm sure you could work them a bit to fit your's. One problem- they're not cheap- going for around $24 for two figs. $75 for 6 figs is a little steep for me, but they sure look nice.

Dragon came out with a 105mm towed piece that comes with a firing crew. You would get the crew, and the kit for less than half of the Ledgend set.

In 1/35 scale, Masterbox is releasing a gun crew for a "Long Tom". Check the website and look under in progress.

The Dragon set that comes with the 105mm is a bit problematic, in that it's an adaptation of the Bastogne airborne figure set and will need some work:

Hope this helps some.
