Whilst checking up on the progress of the Resicast WW1 6 inch and 8 inch guns I came across these In Progress pics of the beast to tow them.

Hi Steve and Luigi,
Should be a neat kit when ready.
Planning ahead, just a walk in the park!. Another gem from IWM, for discussion only.

Hi Terry,
No, I don't believe they did. This is a new kit Mastered by George Moore.

For those who are interested the tractor and 8 inch gun should be available for Duxford in June this year. Don't know the price yet.

Absolutely great model of the tractor. Together with the gun it's a must have.

Hi RJ,
With the 8 inch and 60pdr coming along coupled with the 6 inch howitzer there will be a few options to tow.
I have to admit that when George first mentioned the tractor I wasn't sure about it. Now I see the kit, I for one am sold. With options for the towed gun it will make for a fine model.
Cheers

I'd be happy with just the tractor. All the exposed mechanical bits.

Hi Christopher,
There are a few good pictures on the web of the tractor, some colourful post war options too.

Hi folks,
I found a couple of colour pics on the wen, one is from Bovington I believe?
Darren, is there one down there or just a visitor?
A post war job, with a bit of colour, if you fancy something different.
A Grey version

According to the captions, the pictured tractors belonged to the 94th Heavy Battery.

Looks like it could be found on eBay (there's a mention of the IWM on the original page
...)...but the scanned book variant posted by Alan comes from Ian Hogg's book Allied Artillery of World War One (Crowood Press).
