Nice one, Jerome! One question: RPM makes this version of self propelled gun, you decided to make your own conversion. Why? Is something wrong with RPM's model and its shape? Irek

Very cool. I love those vehicles based on the Lorraine chassis. Great subject, great paint job. I've always wanted the RPM kit but just couldn't justify $36.00 plus S&H.

hi,

the rpm kit is not bad , not good.Many details are simplified.
I rebuild the kit on a ironside base. Only the gun and the spade are preserved from rpm kit.
I hope plastic manufacturers will release lorraine, marder 1 ...

Theres more than you hoping for that. Hopefully that so many of the major vehicles have so many versions released, the companies will look to vehicles that are a little more obscure.
