It looks like they either got it figured out, or they fired the guy that built the jerry cans for the SAS Jeep tongue .

This looks very nice.

Lots of weathering potential here.

I have mine on preorder at HLJ , I will say that there is a definite need for a etch set for this , the ready use cartidge case stowage is horrid and there are a lot of details , tool clamps etc which will look heaps better with etch ! This is the sorta set that Griffon do best too !

I dont have a lot of info on them, but what I have (its all in Japanese and I havent translated it fully) indicates only 12 were made in total and they all went to the 707th and 708th "some type of self-propelled" units (thats the Japanese I havent fully translated) Embarassed in North Africa. Judging by the pix they seem to have been at least some still going in Tunisia, but I believe they all ended their days there. If I recall correctly, at first they were on a five wheel chassis but that was changed to six due to the strain, but even then it taxed the poor PII chassis so wasnt continued in production.

No worries. If I have some time (and thats a big "if" right now) Ill try to translate the characters to find out what type of unit. Obviously its something to do with artillery/infantry support though. Id like to have one of these myself but the budget is stretched way thin right now, boo hoo Sad
