You could also look for a British 6 lb. The 57mm was the same gun in US service. Chris |

I had the same problem. I don't know that much about WWII. Then I discovered that the U.S. used the British 6 pounder. link I just got one recently from Scale Creep made by Warmodelling. link I bought the U.S. gunners from Scale Creep too. link Tom |

Sgts Mess makes one in metal: link There are a few US vendors who carry that line and I think a fellow on Ebay has some of their stuff too. (Wow we all posted in a big clump) |

The USA M1 version had US wheels and tires giving a different look to the gun, and also had the long barrel version from the beginning, if your model has a choice. |

The RAFM model is quite a bit larger then the Airfix 6 pounder. You can can convert the Airfix model by shaving down the end of the barrel. (If you do brits you need more Bren carrier then the guns anyway). Vince |

Use the Plastic Soldier 6pdr There is a different barrel and wheels on the sprue enabling it to be built as a US 57mm gun. |

Crispin,
If you are a 20mm WW II gamer then you should join The Guild with all due haste. It primarily focusses on that era and scale and a nicer group of guys couldn't be found on the web. They have tons of pictures, hobby tips, battle reports, etc. all related to WW II. Check it out! guildwargamers.com |

Is the Plastic Soldier kit still the best option for a US 57mm M1 in 1:72? Is there a 57mm gun kit out there that comes with an American transport? Cheers, Furgie |
makes corrections when some models don't turn out the way he expected!
