Re: Set 282 Obice da 75/18 Mod 35 Howitzer & Italian Crew

I liked the set a lot, no complaints here. But yes to the one`s you suggest and the Italian guns captured and used rather famously by the Australian bush artillery at Tobruk. I have now painted all but the French heavy weapons from the last release and thought them all very usable, but either too many or to few crews for the weapons, Plenty of room for more sets from both sides for the desert 1940/43.

The 75/27 Italian 75mm gun is the one I am thinking of, famously used ,with others, by the Bush artillery.

Is it this one? HaT made a model of this but for WW2 the wheels would not be the old spoked ones....

No, but they did use that gun too, with the same type of wheel as the strelets gun. If you search Bush artillery images the gun in question comes up,with an Aussie crew.
