Finished French 75

Post by Stikpusher »

It took a few days longer than intended, but it still is my first completed build of 2024. A very nice little kit, and a subject that made me want to learn about it. IBG’s Model 1897 75mm Field Gun, Modified 1938.

Thanks for looking… comments & critiques are welcome.

Most definitely well done!

Thanks guys! A little artillery piece like this is a perfect quick project build. Now for a proper gun crew! :hmm:

This is French right? Don't Miniart do a retreating French army of WWII set complete with white flags and dropped weapons? :whiteflag: :grin: It goes with their Italian WWII army figures with the reversable uniforms.

Oh you're bad Stuart! The only French figures that Miniart makes, aside from civilians, is a tank crew set. Tamiya and Dragon make some infantry figures, but no artillery crew.
