Hi All,
For some years I've been looking for a model (any scale to be honest) of an L5 Pack Howitzer for an old artillery vet friend of mine.
I've had no luck searching so far, and was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction...
Cheers,
Daniel

The Britains model is the only one there is. I modified one for a campaign here a few years ago - it needs quite a bit of work to make an accurate model. I changed the wheels for some off of a small truck, the solid axle needs to be changed for two stubs, the sights need to be added plus breech opening lever needs modification
I served on these guns myself - back in the mid-1970s
