What piece of artillery would you like to see a manufacturer produce. Personally i would like someone to do a 17pdr on a 25pdr carriage as was used in North Africa.

Even a normal 17pdr in plastic would be good to see, and a 5.5" gun/how with Matador.
I know that these are made in resin, but we're not all millionaires!

Hi I think just about any artillery piece, of most any caliber, would be a welcomed addition to the modeling community. Be it German, Russian, British, American, etc. AFV Club has sort of got the ball rolling with their German 10.5cm Howitzer and Pak 41/43 kits. We just need this company, plus more of the other the various other model makers, to bring this concept along. I think that there is a real market out there for these kits. But the manufacturers just have to be convinced that they are worth their time and effort to produce.

Take care, Sgirty

Didn't Revell recently (within the last 5 yrs) reissue the ex-Renwal M55 kit in the History Maker's box? I still have one of the 1982 History Makers kits plus the instructions from the old Renwal kit. Interesting howitzer.
