I found this period photo which likely served as one of John's sources.

That would be the one Randy. Funny until John made this, like so many other TS's I had no idea it existed, always feel I am getting a history lesson, now I know this gun carrier like the back of my hand. ^&grin, Robin.

Great photo, that tank is a beast.

Wonder if John will produce a field gun/Howitzer with removable wheels to sit in the front of this carrier? Seems it would also need an extended ramp to be fitted judging from real photos which may make the exercise a little tricky. Robin.

I was checking out some photos that I took on my visit to the Somme Battlefields in 2008, and I noticed that on the Tank memorial at Pozieres

One of the tanks is the Mark I Gun-carrier

The other 3 are Mark IV and V Heavy Tanks

and a Medium A Whippet.



Looks like John has made most of these now !!

All these images are not mine, but off the web!
