'035.2365 3 inch Mortar Wooden Ammo Boxes'.... Just what the doctor ordered at the present momento following the Riich 3" Mortar. However, as far as Price is concerned, i'd have preferred the BARV as a CONVERSION rather than full kit. We're not exactly short of good Shermans as donor kits?

Doh!!!!! Just realized it IS a conversión set......AAAARGGGHHH::::

Surely "immortal" shells are infinitely reusable?

I saw that BARV at Folkestone early this month, and it looks like a cracking conversion! Pity I've chosen the scratch-building route already... (And price is always an issue.)

Having built the original Resin full kit, I might spring for this and do it again...

I nice addition to any collection.

Hi Rod,

All the items are shown under New Items on the Resicast site so should be available now.

It's OK to have the BARV as a conversion, but I wonder if you have to do the weld lines yourself? They show up in white on the photos.

I have the old full kit so probably won't get this new one.

Cheers,

Christophe
