Oh I agree - each to their own - I was just speaking of my own personal preferences and wants (won't say "needs" as I probably have too many projects on the go! :) )

I would raise the question though; these heavy artillery pieces seem to be produced in wargaming style - quick builds lacking detail and perfect accuracy (thickness of wheels etc.) but great value for money. That's why I find the WW1/Interwar light field arty from HaT so appealing. There are other manufacturers that do highly detailed kits (being correspondingly expensive) that would seem more aimed at modellers and dioramacists.

Just my own personal tupp'orth ha'penny, however agree it is good to see anything in this scale other than the usual suspects remade ad finitim...

RCD, are you feeling well?

Now go and wash your mouth with soap!

It gets even worse - looking at the Strelet Stalingrad German set I am considering buying a set when they come out. Scruffy Germans - never seen a set like this before .

As Baldrick says "I have a cunning plan". Produce a German WW2 Artillery (for the future French sets) will encourage the 'sad lads' to spend their money on Strelet products which encourages the said company to continue this range.

Thanks for your reply Strelets I look forward to seeing the Garford which would be a long term wish fullfilled...

Cheers
