Would there be the chance of more Artillery/Cannons

Post by Paul Wills »

Hi All,

Would there be any chance of more Artillery cannons Like the Flak 36 88MM, and who would want them? Well I would for one, that's why I am asking! :roll: :lol: It maybe a nice small alternative to tow behind the German or American halftracks!

what about an 8.8 cm Pak 43,

A German 150mm sFH18 howitzer,

Image

Or an American 155mm Howitzer,

Image

Or a British BL 7.2 inch Howitzer Mk.I,

Image

what do you all think :? :idea:

Paul.

Having managed to snaffle a halftrack at the Open Day, I need an 88 :?

Personally, I'd like the Comet to be followed by a Quad + Limber + 25 Pounder :D :D

Having also managed to bag a Halftrack at the open day :lol: i think a Pak 43 "88" would be a great choice of model and one i would certainly go for.

Hi Both,

I have to admit, I like the 8.8 cm Pak 43. but just imagine the size of a 150mm sFH18 howitzer :shock: Now that would look good, and we could get some good dio's from them as well 8)

I have a number of artillery pieces from Dragon already, so I would be interested in something different to the ones I have...

Does it mean either the US 8" Howitzer or 155mm cannon "Long Tom" is in Armortek's agenda? :?:

In 1/6 scale, the BIG Dora might has to be a non-metal monster, otherwise just too heavy............ . Check it out from Peter Shaw's experience: :shock:

I'd like to see Armortek offer the US M3 Lee tank and also the US M115 short barrel 8" howitzer, in that order.......just my preference.

Armortek,

Maybe you don't have plans for that 8" puppy, but it sure is an impressive looking brut.

I would be interested in a gun, if it was a heavy, but then you would need a truck to tow it.
If your not living on the edge, your taking up to much space.
