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.

And here’s his story. No need to read if you’re after details for modelling - there aren’t any. But if you want to know more about the use of this particular piece of artillery in a relatively forgotten theatre of WW1 then read away.
