IBG is now selling two 1:35 scale versions of the Czech 100mm howitzer - in its WWI configuration, and as improved from 1919 onwards. Used by a number of countries, these even served with the Germans in WW2.

Cool I love ambidextrous model kits! Does anyone know if the Polish still had these during the German invasion?

It would seem according to this that Poland would have had some of the later versions:

This period picture is dated 1939 :
The Polish Army had about 900 vz14/19 howitzers in September 1939...

Some of these weapons, which I think might be the 100mm (not 100% sure) have been found in Iraq.

I built the kit recently, it has no gun sight and no handle to change the trail spade from towing into firing position...
