M8 Howitzer in Normandy

[PTB11]

Howitzer is the Tamiya 1/35 kit
The crew are from Dragon and the ruins are an old Verlinden plaster casting.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

I really can't think of anything else to say; it's bl**dy stunning!

Steve, it is a bit strange looking.
Its an M8 75mm Howitzer motor carriage. It carries a version of the U.S. 75mm Pack Howitzer.

Another simply wonderful build from you Paddy and set in a top notch diorama with excellent attention to detail. You are certainly setting the bar high on here for armour builds!
