Thanks Corey! I've fallen behind with my builds of your tanks. I better hurry up and get them going again! Will the camo versions be available too?

Winter version is up. Enjoy.

One more with a mouth! Fictional but fun!

Way too funny

Corey, many thanks for these great kits! Your work is very much appreciated.

I just downloaded these fine examples. I especially like the one with the mouth. I was pleasantly surprised, as I scrolled down, to see a mustache on it (as I sport a mustache).

Again, thanks. I look forward to building these when I get back.

[Quote]:
WW1 had some seriously heavy guns often converted from old Naval guns. The British 60 pounder (15cm) and 8" howitzer were guns converted from the secondary armament of obsolete and (often) scrapped ships. The Russians had a 120mm Naval gun M1892 designed by Canet which they used extensively in coastal defence and army support roles. There were even heavier guns used (12" and 15") but these most often used in railway artillery.

The British built the Gun Carrier Mark 1 which had a 4.5" howitzer - it didn't get used much in its intended role mostly because the local commanders couldn't figure out how to use it.

Agreed. There were many naval guns utilized on all sides for use on land. Why not? There were not as many naval engagements as planned and as we say, 'no artillery in reserve'.

It is a disappointment about the British built the Gun Carrier Mark 1. This system could have been used to great effect in the combined arms role. I note that many were used in the supply role. There were many other vehicles that could have been used for supply vehicles that would have had the same mobility leaving the Gun Carrier free to do its intended job.

OK, the complete kit I will soon offer at ecardmodels will contain seven versions, the ones already posted here, plus a gray one with Russian markings, a captured German War prize with the early war German cross, and a post war tank with 1920 Soviet stars. Now I need to build one for pictures.

Corey,

I look forward to the additions. I'll keep an eye out on ecardmodels. Thanks.
