The French firm "DesKit" make a number of excellent 1/35 scale resin artillery kits of the Great War Period; to include the 155mm GPF.�� Accuracy and fidelity of detail is superb;� if you don't mind working in the dreaded� medium.

Hi, no don't mind resin just it's fragility, worst thing with resin I find is the sanding but I saw article somewhere about sanding under water or with the tap flowing to keep dust to virtually nothing.

Thanks 28juni14 for steering towards DesKit.

Hello My friend! nice off you to stop by.� Yes I have 2 of that model one wll be the gun mototr carriage and the other the ammo carrier, that way I can use the gun to scratch together the GPF.

All i need are detail photo or drawing of GPF trails and carriage/ base/pedestal.

Thanks EDUARDO!

Hello friend,

I sugget you to search for images of the DES KITS (an old one I think) parts or assembly manual, in any modelling preview.

May be in this site....

regards!
