Indeed big:


It's the Geschutzwägen Tiger, a 17cm self-propelled artillery based on the Tiger II chassis. I don't think it saw action and the single example built was captured by war's end.

Interested. What if's allowed? After reading this:
http://tankarchives.blogspot.com/2016/03/t-34-with-big-guns.html
about putting big guns on the T-34 chassis, I've been wanting to build something similar to the SU-8

I love raining death in my SU-8

Just a thought. What about large calibre mortars as I've got a couple of DML 120mm mortars for a dio I was planning. It's got a 6km range so I suppose could be classed as artillery. Not a problem if I can't use them as I'm sure I can find something else.

OK I'm in, I don't have a good track round of finishing campaigns as normally by the time the campaign starts my interest has changed but this is only a little ways off so I should still have an interest.
Well there is nothing in the stash but as I'm into Russian equipment at the moment it will be something Russian may be even a Smerch, 2S7M or TOS-1. At a show in a couple of weeks so I'll see what I can pick up.

I'll either go for a Flak 36 or a couple of 120mm mortars if they're allowed.

I'm in - there's a re-pop Atomic Cannon calling me from the shelf. I may crumble and start it over Xmas, but then there's the M107, M109, M110, PzH2000, and Sturmtiger in the stash ready to take its place come February if that happens...

Tom,
Do the 110 or 107 and I'll do the other.

After some long hard thinking (yep, it hurt
), I've decided to break one of my modelling rules and build a weapon
.
After a quick hunt through the М-Хобби collection I've settled on the 6" Siege Gun 1877, and will be working in my preferred scale 1/25th


See ya at the start line

I'm looking forward to seeing that build, Roger! Is it a kit or are you scratching it?
