Resicast adds the QF 4.5-inch light howitzer to its line of artillery offerings. The kit may be ordered with just the gun or together with its accessories.

Nicely done. A full crew and perhaps a team of horses would really round-out this one. Hint Hint.

My Grandfather was a loader on one of these in an RFA Battery in Gaza in late 1917. I have his diaries and description of adding paddles to the wheels for the sand and camouflaging it. Sadly no photos. But have been looking forward to this in 1/35.
