How many crew members were there on a towed 105 during Korean War??
I am guessing 6. 3 on the gun two ammo carriers and a gun leader. All you Arty experts
out there set me straight on this.

Thanks

There's a fine line between hardcore & Stupidity, and I think we may have crossed it.

Delta22,
Six-man crew is correct for towed 105 in Korean war. If you are building the M101A1 kit from Italeri, the three figures that come with it can be made into a pretty decent start to a crew. I built the same model a few months ago. I changed the position of the arms on the one guy standing there doing nothing and put a round in his hands as the loader preparing to insert another round. Hope this helps. Sounds like you have a good start.

Hey there HeavyArty,
Thanks for the info. I may try to use the kit figs but right now I am trying to convert the DML Pusan Perimeter figs into a decent looking crew.

Thanks again
