Hello, I need 28mm 105mm guns for an Indochina project (US marines uniform should do). Is there anyone who makes them? thank you |

Both Old Glory and Warlord Bolt Action make 105mm guns |

thanks DD, for OG, is it the Westwind model? |

I believe the Old Glory Vietman model is the Westwind model and is no longer available from OG. I would add that the wheels on the Westwind model are extremely narrow and I needed to replace them to make a satisfactory model. That said the gun crews from Old Glory (with flak jacket) are very good for gun crews.

The 19th century Battlehonors range has a lot of artillery. I am not sure which guns. |

Good find, VCarter. Thanks. Thanks Rudy. "19th century" is misleading :)
Found one model but I think they just have it in 15mm. |

Bolt Action option: link The crew may be an issue, however, the gun looks much better than the Westwind model. |

The crew for the Vietnam gun could do actually. Artillery crew were issued US flak jacket at Dien Bien Phu during the later part of the battle. |

The other side of that is crewing a gun is hot work and lots of pictures from the Vietnam War I've seen show them shirtless. |

I ended up buying the Vietnam set from Westwind and the European one from Warlord. I will just base the figures on a gun base and I will switch the gun whenever I play ETO or Indochina. thanks all for the advice. |
