Hi

Does anyone make a 28mm model of the 7.85 cm Leichte Feldgeschutz as used by the Germans in East Africa ?

Failing that, can anyone suggest a suitable substitute ?

Some phots of an extant example can be found here -

TIA

Askari Miniatures in the US offers German colonial artillery, limbers and teams, as well as gun crews and infantry in 28mm. Also French, Russian
and North African colonial miniatures.

This is the only gun that I know of in that scale. Does this work? Looks close to me.

Hmmm, I'm veering towards the Tiger ones because -

1. They are wearing sun helmets
2. They are UK based so I avoid the risk of a 20% surcharge from HM customs.

Thanks for all the replies !
