25 pounders with Quads, OP team and a battery HQ all in one box was something we discussed last week. For me its a priority release for both 15mm and 20mm but we shall have to see how it fits in and the work required at design.

I can see this kit being a big seller. It is the iconic artillery gun for the British, Canadians, Belgians, New Zealanders and South Africans during the mid and late war periods. I know there's more than a few lists that I've shied away from because of the difficulties I've had trying to put together Battlefront's metal 25 pdrs. If I had plastic 25 pdrs (and plastic Daimler I armoured cars ) I would drop any other projects I had so I could do a Belgian Brigade Piron armoured car squadron.

I'm about to receive the test prints of both the 15mm German and British 'new style' designs in 20mm to see how they scale up.

Sadly its often not possible to just directly scale up as the infill that is not that noticeable in 15mm becomes rather glaring in 20mm but we figured it was worth a punt to see how the prints turned out. If nothing else it will give us an idea as to what needs to be worked on.


Fingers crossed they turn out well and these Germans follow them quickly. Thanks for all the previews you give us BigP.

Maybe to you, but for us we can re-scale to 1/72 aswell... as 1/72 sales are growing fastest at present it ticks alot of boxes.

Plus our truck kit will have options...
You're in the wrong section for 1/72. Whether it turns out to be interesting will depend on how interesting these 'options' turn out to be as Zvesda are cheaper and the FiB sculpt is excellent (and one piece). Sadly the Zvesda's truck is by far their worst sculpt in their 1/00 range, especially compared to their excellent Zis 5 truck.


Yesterday I put together a battery of six Battlefront 25pds (they were on sale), Oh so much flash! I should have gone with FiBs offerings. Somewhat perversely I'd be all over a cheap plastic quad with limber, BF only do a quad with a limber as a special order with the over complex multi-part (expensive) quad.

Did I mention a plastic kit of British Crusader I/II/III tanks would be quite welcomed.

Dunno about Crusaders... but I had to photo the A9 Cruiser while at Bovvy last weekend, and the Design Team asked for a research pack on it...

Usually a good indicator its up for consideration.

There's not a Crusader IV that I'm aware of. Could mean the Cruiser Mk IV, which is different than the Cruiser Mk I Big P mentions if I'm not mistaken.

To be honest, im not sure its something you would put together on a sprue really, as with a jeep you want a US, British and possibly Russian crew figures, so its something that may warrant its own frame for inclusion with a variety of sets... such as our ideas for artillery battery box sets.

The German heavy weapon set is nice though...


yes please russian jeeps either gaz or willys preferably both in 15mm noth that im asking for a lot lol
