I’m sure I had a 72nd scale one of these by Airfix in the 70s !
Hell of a job your doing filling the overlooked British hardware sector Mr Frankie.
Any chance of a 5.5 inch gun in the future?
How about a classic 25 pdr on a rotary base plate with limber !!
And some PIATS & Bren guns for accessories!!

@Herman...I do like the look of the 5.5” but that’ll open up a whole can of worms as I’d need to do a Matador to tow it :haha:

Don't forget the well muscled shoulders of the driver if you do build an AEC Matador they did not have power steering :lolno:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Ohhhhh nooooo !!!..........wouldnt that be a tough decision :/ :lolno:
The 5.5" just seems to me to be "the" most British artillery piece of them all.
Every bit of film footage, every bit of victory on such and such front has film of the 5.5 letting loose.
An AEC Matador tugger would not be a lost cause Im certain ;)

I cant recall the last time I saw footage of a 17 Pdr AT gun in action in a documentary...................just saying :shifty:
