Please point me in the right direction if you can. The 2nd Battalion 28th field artillery National Guard is making a display of miniatures representing their unit from Civil war to the present.
I gave them 2 Britians sets, Union 12 pounder with crew and WW2 US 105mm with crew.We still need a French 75mm with American crew , either as a kit or a finished factory set.Did Britians make one of these?Seems to me they did but I cant find hide nor hair .
Someone else? Like I said, even a metal kit will do.Please give me a heads up if you can point out a manufacturer.

They also mentioned a Spanish American gun and crew which will probably be even more difficult.

Thanks in advance

Camp Randall made a 75 French artillery piece in metal and some nice caissons to go with them, but with a French crew. You can always man it with their American light artillery crew.

Britains did a 75 mm french gun and caison with US crew in the premier range #8936.
gloss finish,crewwearing wearing lemon squeezers.
 
Thank you very much.I'll keep an eye out on ebay for a set.We can always dullcote the gloss away, maybe do some highlighting and shading.
Thanks again

I just remebered britains also did another of the same set in the premier
range but with the crew in helmits and the gun and caison painted in camo.
I think its was #41025 [gloss finish aswell].

Lemon squeezers are what we call the style of slouch hat
[they look like the old hand lemon squeezers people used to use at home]
