Hi all
Here are some photos of my Armortek 25 pounder field gun and the ammunition limber.

Not bad. The gun looks especially good with all the rivets. Does the elevation and traverse work?

That makes it a good value kit. I imagine people in less restricted countries fitting it out for live firing/blanks.

Wow! Excellent model. Armortek makes some great models. They currently have the Elefant in production. I would personally like to have a 1/6 Nashorn....

You mentioning the Elefant suggests that a Nashorn and Hummel could be done if they eventually do the towed weapons that the SPs carried. An sfH18 and a PAK43 would make good subjects for their range especially as they do the SDKFZ7 half track that towed them both!

Yes, and Amortek already produced the PIII and PIV so not much of a stretch to incorporate these builds...

If Armortek sell spares, then fitting a pair of PzIII sprockets to  a PzIV chassis would make a Nashorn conversion very accurate!
