i know you all like tanks and soft skins..but my ultimate kits have arrived..two of them that i got off ebay at an unbelieveable price
1st theres the
peerless max 155 howitzer....its amazing for its time period of release..all metal barrels..real springs and rubber tires
second is
an m-198 in resin..dont know the maker..no box or instructions..just parts inna bag
cant complain when i paid 15.00 for both kits

anybody have any suggestions about the two of them and where i can get instructions for the 198?
is there any pe available for the peerless...

thanks Ray...
and Merry Xmass to you all (:-)

The M198 is made By an Aussie Company.....The Name escapes me at this point.......But it's like a 200 dollar kit

I believe the Peerless Max 155mm howitzer is now the Italeri 155mm howitzer but with all plastic parts replacing the multimedia components. It is Italeri kit #232. I did not find a current Eduard PE set for the kit, but there may have been an old one at one time. Additionally, there could be one from another manufacturer. I just do not know that much about towed artillery kits.
