Paul H shares some pictures of his exquisite Bishop 25 pdr SPG from Bronco in 1/35 that he recently finished for the 500+ campaign.

There are a lot of these unbuilt in stashes all across the world. Nice to see a well done example for once.

Great build!

I'd never even heard of or seen pictures of it before.

Congrats on the feature, Paul! We've been lucky enough to follow the build in the 500+ campaign. A great showcase of modelling skills!

Very nice. Are they really so rare? I built one 2 years ago!

Thanks to all for the positive comments. I don't really know about the rarity of the subject. I think it's more the fact that the kit has been out for quite a while so you seldom see them built. I don't really know why that is, but you'll see a hundred Sherman, Panther or Tiger builds for every Bishop.

Personally, I enjoy building Bronco kits. I've built their A-13 Mk II Cruiser Mk. IVa, and their T17E1 Staghound in addition to the Bishop. I just wish they would tackle the rest of the early war Cruiser tanks like the Crusader series, the A9, the A11 etc...
