| General Impression & Note |
It will take you lot of work and cleverness to get
of this kit nice model of British gun frequently used during WW1. These guns
with modified carriage served also during early period of WW2. You could find
them in France and North Africa where known Scammel tractors towed them in 1940.
Few captured units served in Wehrmacht marked 12,7 cm K 382(e). US Army also
used them for exercise purposes.
One of these gun can be seen in London Imperial War Museum so it’s good place to take good reference photos there as I did.J We thank to Panzer Shop for preview sample. |
