Haha yeah I really want one but its gonna cost big time! I think we both have the desert one- it was about £100 with full crew. This'll be about 4 times that! {eek3}

James , yes that 8th Army version is a classic and quite a few years back now. Can picture this new version in a Normandy scene with our Tommy footsloggers passing by^&cool

Thanks Tom for the pics.

The first pic seems to be what I regularly see from my Airfix/Tamiya days. What type of difference will a battery of guns line up side by side have, e.g. Is there a number on the gun? Now that we have tanks with different numbers, actually it can be quite a pain (P) if there are some releases of guns of different numbers are at 100pcs each. My brain will go viral. My take is that I sense batteries of 25 pounders seem to be spaced closer together than say the 88s. So, this can make nice diorama possibilities.

Lol, the "P" letter is being over used all over.

No worries Chris and yeah, the letter "P" is the flavour of the month! {sm4}

It will be interesting about the release and whether it will be limited to a certain quantity with different numbering on the gun similar in the way the 38t is going to be released and how the T34 was released. My thoughts are that Andy will make it a general release and not restrict the gun, crew, limber and vehicle to a certain quantity. If a collector wants to have more than one 25 pounder and have them numbered differently and doesn't want to do it themselves, then there are blokes around the world that have the skills to do a professional re-numbering job on the gun and possibly the vehicle as well.

A battery of 25 pounders will look awesome although the letter "P" will come into play once again on the Price point!

Wayne mate,
I like you retired early last night and missed the action. I also remember and I have on tape that Andy mentioned other options at the Brisbane Dinner. He also mentioned this option on his visit to Canberra in 2009. I think he liked the bare chested bronzed Aussies. I think also that could be Obee in the gunner layer's seat.^&grin^&grin

We live in hope, Cheers Howard

Howard,
Of course you have a tape...:wink2:.(please delete some of the more dodgy comments by me {sm2}) and if Andy does what we suggested some nice options are on the way, and look forward to them.
Wayne.
