Thanks!

Thanks for posting this Bob. It looks like a nice set.

No such thing as a FireFinder Battery. Maybe a Target Acquisition Battery with a Headquarters platoon and a radar platoon with 3 x Q-36/2 x Q-37.

You know, like C 1/21 FA

...or C 1/39 FA

Yes, it is officially called a Target Acquisition Battery (TAB) by MTOE, but it is also known as a FireFinder Radar Battery. By the way, 1/39's TAB was A Battery. C/1-39 was an MLRS Battery.

I have a feeling we may have run across each other in the past.

I was in C 1/21 FA 1998-2002. Radar Platoon Sergeant/Targeting NCO.(13R)

Great review Gino thanks!

Tarps and the like have never been PSM's forte, many times those parts seem to originate from poorly made masters done with tissue paper/white glue. I can think of many softskins in their catalogue that are spoilt by that problem.

But like you say this one is worth getting for the shelter alone, HMMWV builders should have enough Academy/Italeri/Revell spares in their stash to deal with the "canvas" parts.

Cheers,

Christophe

That sounds right. I was C/1-21 FA XO from '96-'98. Good to have another Redleg aboard!!

Christophe - Thanks, glad the review was helpful to you. It is a great set.

Great review Gino. I appreciate the extra technical details you added in the review. I have this set sitting in my stash and agree that overall it is very well done. I'm anxious to build one.
