New from Resicast is a resin kit of the BL 6-in 26cwt Howitzer.
The BL 6-in 26cwt howitzer was a British howitzer that was deployed during the last two world wars. It was the primary medium howitzer during World War I, capable of firing 100lb shells up to 9,500 yards. More than 22 million rounds are estimated to have been fired by this weapon in the course of the Great War.

A joint collaboration between Resicast and George Moore, kit 351265 depicts the gun fitted with "girdles", a device that prevents it from sinking in muddy or sandy ground. The kit is a limited edition release with a production run of 80.

Sorry to hear this is a limited run. It looks great, and I would be interested, having built the WW2 version.
