Does anybody make it in 28mm? I've looked in vain.

Thanks Wolverine. Unfortunately their website does not seem to work properly. Tried a couple of times.

TA Miniatures are now sold under North Star Miniatures. However, I did not see a Mountain Howitzer, just big siege guns.

Have you checked ACW lines?

Strange that a weapon with Hollywood megastar status (for a weapon that is) – MAJOR DUNDEE – should be so difficult to find. I can't find any substitutes either. The barrel was long for a howitzer and had a distinctive shape. Have looked in all the ACW providers and in Mexican American War lines. It was used on the plains too.

The barrel was long for a howitzer I think you have that backwards. Per the 1860 Ordnance Manual, the 12-pdr Field Howitzer had a 46.25" (10 caliber) bore, while the Mountain Howitzer had only a 28.16" (6.1 caliber) bore. Overall tube lengths were 58.6" v. 37.21" respectively.
