I had never heard of the Smith Gun.

I just did a quick read on it, and I must say that is one of the most interesting and unusual weapons put in production by the British.

Hope someone does a 1/35 kit some day.

Another bizarre one...and interesting because of that. I had never even heard of this piece and to see it in model form is fascinating!
