Beautiful work Frankie

Good good good

Hi Great work Frank,love all the British stuff you do.


regards pete

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!!

Hmmm. These works look some what familiar.

Still waiting to see that hellcat.

Oh and can I have some tyres please

@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

Don't forget the well muscled shoulders of the driver if you do build an AEC Matador they did not have power steering

Ohhhhh nooooo ..........wouldnt that be a tough decision
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
