Alan McNeilly has put together this series of images and details of some fascinating developments from Resicast. Artillery is beginning to feature heavily although Armored Cars aren''t forgotten either. The Report can be seen:

These look really interesting! ..I'm 99% sure the Irish Army had some 1937 quick fire 18pdr guns during the second World War ("The Emergency Years" as it it was known here due to our neutrality).

They were towed by Morris Quads along with the 25pdrs, so this is certainly a welcome suprise and will most certainly be on the shopping list on its release!

thanks for posting jim

I think you're right Roy, I'm sure I've seen one of these parked beside the main gate of some barracks somewhere

Hi,

I am a bit wary of resin kits but I am very tempted by ALL of these. Nice to see BEF subjects getting some attention.

Cheers,

Hi Jim/Pat

Thanks folks.

What's really interesting is that these are all early war subjects. With the Bronco Crusier and the Tamiya Matilda and Tilly we are finally seeing some of those forgotten early vehicles and now some armoured cars and arillery to boot. This opens up lots more possibilities on the BEF, early N Africa and the Home Front.

The Bren Mk I Carrier has I believe been released and is to be followed by the Scout Carrier both early vehicles. Interesting times.

Could be bigger things to look out for too!!

Cheers

Al

That 18/25pdr Mk I is especially nice. It sure is great news for fans of older field pieces.

Hats off to Resicast for covering subjects which will NEVER get an outing in plastic. Not thay they DON'T deserve to be covered but they are, in the great scheme of things seen as pretty 'off-the-wall' by many

Of course saying that, sure as God made little green apples....

That Morris C9 is sure an exciting release to me. I can't wait until it is available. Cheers to Graham at Resicast for the cool releases.
