                        Haven't started anything yet. I will be changing my entry however to the M-110 A2 or the MLRS, not sure which one yet.

                        Yes, that's right. However, take a look at the difference in the camo on their uniforms!

                        US Army DPU -
                        Australian Army DPCU -

                        You can see that the AusCam blends into a much lighter shade than the US Army camo. I guess this is because the US (and Britain and even New Zealand) are in a much more temperate climate than Australia.
                        Thanks for the comments! Thumbs Up [tup] The gun is about to go into weathering, but I'm working on my Stealth a/c GB build atm.
                        Cheers,
                        John

                        Man, that 198, now that is a gun.
                        The Aussie camo looks good too. Its odd when you look at a US 198, then see a Ausie 198 or LAVs for that matter. The colors used are strark to each other.

                        panzer67: the camo is called AusCam, it's the camo of the Australian Army. That's where this gun is set.

                        Here's the gun, just out of paint!! There's still a few areas to touch up, but it's almost ready for the transfers and weathering!







                        Tell me what you think...
                        Cheers,

                        panzer67: yes, the 155mm M-198 Howitzer is currently in service with the Australian Army. The kit is all resin, made by a small company known as Aussie Armour, basically a 'back-yard' company specializing in (surprise surprise!) Australian Army vehicles and conversions. The kit is reasonably expensive, RRP $128.00AUD (about $100US) it's worth every cent!! Great detail on the surface and a very comprehensive kit too! I can't wait to get stuck into the weathering!
                        As for you gun, it's looking tops! Keep it up!
                        Cheers,
                        John

                        It's half-way through paint by now, but this (sort of) shows the size of it!

                        Im working on the AFV Club seFH-18. Man, that kit is really starting to get on my nerves. Th plastic is rather brittle and there is alot of flash for a new kit. I spend most of my time cleaning and sanding. It isnt that I mind doing this, but even the smallest pieces have a seam line or flash, and the part alignment isnt the best in the world. AHHH.
                        Ok, now that Ive vented my frustration, I'll take a break and get back to it. I feel alot better now.

                        I guess you mean the K-5 railgun? Of course, the Nazis used more than just the K-5.

                        Im thinking this could be a good and fun idea. I am a sucker for artillery, so depending on how many responses i get on it id like to start one.

                        Guidlines: It has to be built by the end of 2005. It starts Now!
                        -SPG can be built
                        -AAA can be built
                        -Towed Guns can be built
                        -Emplaced Artillary is okay too
                        -Mortars can be built
                        -it does not have to be either indirect or direct fire, both can be built.

                        P.S. - Thanks for the badge John This is what we will use

                        P.S.S.- You can build TWO or More if you are crazy enough!

                        Here is who I have so far:

                        TankerGeoff - Flak-88
                        Ackman - FH-18
                        Redleg1-7FA - M-109 E-4
                        Zokissima - Flak-88
                        JFPuishys - Pak-40
                        Johnforaster - M-198
                        Neo_Hacker21- (some type of howitzer)
                        MAnic Mooran - PzH2000
