hi ghost you'll be seeing more from me, i have 5 more plus 2 SAMs in the stash. the german 150 infantry gun has a crew so i will probably do a little dio with them. same with 75mm. i haven't figured out what to do with it. not sure if there are any post ww2 soviet trucks (other than the 8x8 tractor) to tow this thing

Cool simple clean looking build waynec! Love to see Arty pieces, and the simplicity really makes one appreciate the gun. I wouln't have been able to resist making it look busy with crew, cam nets, ammo and all the paraphernalia I have spare.

Nice work! Love seeing something different from Shermans and Tigers (as much as I love them). You just need a truck to hitch it to now!

Very nice. I always love seeing another piece of artillery here. It looks to be a nice kit.

first finish of 2013. thought it would look cool in travel mode but not really. will do M-198 in combat mode. does have a considerably smaller footprint though. nothing earth shattering. just a fun 2nd towed gun build. i now have 5 more in the stash. generic dirt base so it doesn't sit as well as it would in a custom base.
