Big German Gun
The Doctor again, (does this dude ever sleep?!) this time what looks like a heavy artillery piece. I really like models of guns both direct and indirect fire weapons...they're different and less often seen. Maybe somebody can clarify what this is. I suspect the kit is a Cromwell all resin edition but I don't know.

Enjoy.

Re: Big German Gun
It looks like a 21cm Morser 18. A large piece for field artillery and hard to transport. A hard hitting piece though.

Wow that's a big one! How did they move them? The Sdkfz. 9?

Re: Big German Gun
That could be the case. I doubt much else would have moved these things.

Re: Big German Gun
I'd love to build one of these things. I like artillery pieces...they make for something unusual in the collection.

Re: Big German Gun
I did find a reference to the kit you posted. I think it is resin and pricey but it does look good. I will make a 1/35th Flak 36 one day.

Re: Big German Gun
Is it a 'Cromwell' kit by any chance?

Re: Big German Gun
It is an interesting piece. It may be Cromwell.

Re: Big German Gun
Those big honkin' wheels have me a bit confused...looks like they were hard rubber, no tube? Bet you could here that thing being towed long!
