"1/72nd or 20mm 18 pounders?" Topic

Anyone know of a maker for these guns? I'm starting a War of 1812 project and evidently these bad boys were not strangers to many of the fights.

The only metal version I can think of is now by Grubby Tanks, GUN 24, at the attached link:

I've never ordered any of the ex-Kennington-ex-SHQ range from Grubby Tanks, so although they show up on the web-site I am not sure that they do the entire range.
Good luck.

Thanks,Billy, but I think I may have found something I can use. I'm going to try the gun barrels from the HaT 8098 British sailors and marines on a field carriage. So long as they look bigger than the regular field guns, they'll work for me. (I had also thought of using 25mm scale 12 pounders, but first I'll try using the cards I have in my hand.)

I did the same as you- used a bigger barrel on a French 12 pounder carriage for the US. I had an old Hinchliffe 20mm 10" howitzer for the British. Really a siege gun but is big.

There isn't much information on the British 18 pounder. It had an 8 or 9 ft iron barrel on a bracket carriage with 58" wheels. I suspect the US one would have been very similar.

I used the guns from the Hät Sailors and Marines on Italeri French Guard Artillery carriages, which are bigger than most other 1:72 carriages. See article and pictures here:
