Agreed, Nice looking model. However the mold lines on the barrel need to be cleaned up. |

Looks to be a very useful kit |

Oh dear, looks like you've made the classic mistake of sculpting the big counterweight in front of the breech ring. This was only added when the Mk II was fitted with a muzzle brake late in 1942 – if there is no muzzle brake then the gun tube should be cylindrical all the way back to the breech

That bottom photo is a belter- I've never seen it before; do you know which unit it is? Date? Location (I'm guessing Burma)? |

You are correct; this is a bit of poetic licence to enable us to do a MK2 as well. We are a wargames firm and figurative is acceptable. In a wargame the stats would be the same either way. I hope this answers your question. |

The caption reads "2-3 Australian Field Artillery, Wewak, 1945" Point taken about the counterweight (and I'm a big fan of Sgt's Mess stuff), but those things are beggar to file off if you don't need them and I'd have preferred a separate part. |

Fair comment, I can understand that. |
