AlanL Hi Jim,
Always good to see another manufacturer coming onto the market. This is a most welcome kit and looks pretty good, Glad to see they are starting off with something British :) . It holds out hope for a new 6pdr in plastic, another long over due kit.
Now the all important question is will they provide anything to tow it with? :)
Al jimbrae Hopefully the next will be a 6-Pounder and as Alan says, some Prime-Movers are getting to be desirable objects as well... :) bill_c What kind of creature towed this thing? youngc Great, just what I need for a future diorama.
Thanks for the news.
Chas ;) chefchris I just noticed that TMD is offering this kit as a preorder here in the US. Good news. I look forward to more from this company......
CHris 8) digital-rebel will have to get a few and do some portees

Now THERE's a thought... :) allycat I've always liked the look of this gun. It just presses all the right buttons.
Just a shame armour outclassed it so quick.
a little :[]-- but did the mount/carriage get used for any other weapons. It sort of reminds me of a 20mm AA mount I've seen somewhere (maybe post war and just...similar, but definitely allied)

I have to agree with this, it was the worlds premier AT gun for 39-41 and had no problem with German Armour up until the arrival of the later Pz III & IV's. Everyone assumes it was no good from the outset but it could kill almost all the deployed German Armour it faced with ease until the Germans stated to up armour and more significantly up gun their Pz III & IV which gave them the ability to standoffs and kill them.
If this kit is reasonably priced I see a lot of these in the collection ... |
