I have found what I think is an interesting photo

Seems to be a howitzer mounted on a WW1 truck. The wheels look like a wood steel construction and they protrude through the flat top...........not that I really know,but I would be interested in a expert opinion

I think you maybe right. Pulled up some pic's and they look very similar. It is a wonder those old trucks didn't just shake to pieces with a quick firing cannon on-board.
I would love a plastic kit of one of these

Thanks

well at least my theory was shot down with class......and real knowledge !!

Hi Digger you could make a British/American version by using a 1/35 Mack truck made by Mostek it's a resin kit. (F3004) and a 1/35 British 18pdr gun on the back made by Emhar plus some modifications. Good luck if you try it l think it would look quite good. Pete

It would look good I think,but I couldn't find any pic's of that combination Pete and Mosteck is off the shelves now. T
Although isn't someone coming out with a WW1 truck this year.
