I build a Revell model of Bundeswehr 105mm Feldhaubitze (L) now. The kit is old Italeri M101 model with some additional parts added to make it look like FH 105. Unfortunately those few parts are not enough as true FH 105 has many more modifications to original M101 design.

Does anyone of you maybe have some pictures of it? I only found a few photos on www.panzerbaer.de website. These are quite good photos, but they are not enough to let me scratchbuild all missing parts. I really need some better shots. Could anyone help me somehow?

Hi Pawel,

Can you post one pic from this thing ? After some search on Panzerbaer, I dont find any thing.
When I see what do you want I can perhaps help you.

Best regards

Pascal,

FH105 looks almost like American M101, just with longer barrel and large muzzle brake. Of course there is many other details looking differently and this is what I need photos of. Here is the link to photos on Panzerbaer: http://www.panzerbaer.de/guns/bw_fh_105mm_j.htm. There are links to some walkaround style photos on the bottom of that page, but they are not clear enough and some details are not visible at all

I could try to download them and try to photo shop them for you.
I'm not that good in photo shop, but probably could lighten them,
and try to bring out the details.

Thanks a lot, but I actually do some picture editing myself and those photos are just too low resolution and contrast enhancement doesn't help much. But actually the biggest problem is that some details are just not shown at all on them...
