Great find Ian, thats right up my street lol .

With the prime mover in this scale from Miniart comeing soon, thease two would make a great project.

The 203 mm Howitzer on tracks has always been one of my favorites, haveing one in 1/72nd resin, which was a pig to build.

Another one for the wish list methinks Its going to be an expensive year! What with this, the Bronco A13 & AFV Club Churchill III due, oh and the Dragon Sherman III Sicily.

At this rate I may have to consider selling either the cat, the wife or a kidney

Cheers,
Steve ;D
