link We thought we would try something different for our next kit release and use Kickstarter. Plastic injection moulded kits are expensive products to create with all costs of development and production upfront. As we have been working on the new British 25 pounder artillery gun and tractor in 15mm and 1/72nd scales, the large number of variants we would like to include in the kit would make it our biggest and most expensive kit ever and we could do with your help to make sure we include everything we all want in the kit! link link All the various options make a natural stretch goal ladder and we have also included some extra Kickstarter rewards like 15mm and 1/72nd metal Battery HQ figure sets. And, very excitingly, as we have a lot of the design work already done, 2 of the stretch goals will unlock the ability to add on new Sexton self propelled guns and CMP 15 hundredweight trucks, both in 15mm and 1/72nd. Furthermore, you will be able to get these kits at a discount to full retail price and with minimal shipping in the UK and Europe and a reasonable shipping charge for US and rest of the world. You will also be able to add to your pledge any other Plastic Soldier Company plastic kits at a 20% discount to retail price and with no extra shipping charge anywhere in the world. link link link The base kit will comprise: 25 pdr with Mk I carriage and Mk II gun barrel without muzzle break with Morris Quad tractor with Mk I body (hard top) and Western Desert crew. The 15mm kit has 4 guns, tractors, limbers and crews and the 1/72nd kit has 2 guns, tractors, limbers and crews STRETCH GOALS:- £5.00 GBPk – Add gun barrel with later muzzle break £6.00 GBPk – Add Mk II carriage and gunshield option £7.00 GBPk – Add 18/25 pdr option £8.00 GBPK – Add Morris Mk II body (soft top) option £9.00 GBPK – Additional free Morris Quad tractor sprue £10.00 GBPk – 15mm and 1/72nd decal sheets containing arm of service, bridging signs and armoured and infantry divisional markings for Western Desert and North West Europe (will be available post Kickstarter for £2.50 GBP per pack) £11.00 GBPk – Add North West Europe 1944-45 crew figures £12.00 GBPk – Unlocks CMP Quad tractor option; a whole new 25 pdr with CMP tractor kit (4 guns, tractors and crews in 15mm kit, GBP 19 and 2 guns, tractors and crews in 1/72nd kit, GBP 15) to be added as a new pledge £14.00 GBPK – Additional free CMP Quad tractor sprue £16.00 GBPk – 15mm and 1/72nd metal Battery HQ (set of 4 figures) £18.00 GBPk – Unlocks 15mm CMP 15 cwt truck; this kit (5 trucks)can now be added to your pledge for GBP 17.50 (rrp GBP 18.50) £20.00 GBPk – Unlocks 1/72nd CMP 15 cwt truck; this kit (3 trucks) can now be added to your pledge for GBP 14.95 (rrp GBP 15.95) £25.00 GBPk – Unlocks 15mm Sexton self-propelled gun; this kit (5 vehicles) can now be added to your pledge for GBP 18.50 (rrp GBP 19.50) £30.00 GBPk – Unlocks 1/72nd Sexton self-propelled gun; this kit (3 vehicles) can now be added to your pledge for GBP 15.95 You can add any PSC kits to your pledge at a fantastic 20% discount to full retail price.

I wish this had existed before I spent so much on BF's 25pdrs. I'd easily pay for the Sextons, but otherwise it's not worth it for me. |

whoops – quite right, brake! |

Sure I need an AGRA for my games of IABSM! |

This is great news! I pledged, and am hoping that it reaches the £20.00 GBPk mark so I can get some quick-build 1/72 15cwt trucks added in. |

Backed, even though technically I can't use them with my 15mm Burma stuff (I think) |

Greetings Lots of 25pdr and quads in Burma 42-45 (42 probably OK with desert crew?) – not sure if there was much close range direct fire in Burma? Regards Edward |

I'm in. Would also second the 'baby' 25pdr. Just asked Will about the possibility of a Morris CDSW tractor and correct limber for the 18/25 pdr too. |

Would love it if the Morris C8 cut-down airborne variant could be added to the list too. |

I think the crew figures in shorts are for North Africa? |
