"Did you know that SHQ now have the Fine Scale Factory range of WW1 artillery available?"
I certainly didn't, and thought this merited a dedicated thread since the SHQ homepage didn't show any news for ages to me. Thanks to Paul's hint I found this list on http://www.shqminiatures.co.uk/Sitefiles/main.php (check menu item "20mm WW1 artillery"):

Hope this is of some interest. The Fine Scale Factory kits' quality ranges from poor to good, and the Landships reviews reflect this. The WW1 figures I have seen were conversions of plastic figures cast in white metal. Thanks to Paul. Regards, Pat

I'm guessing WW8 "German 42mm Heavy Field Howitzer" actually refers to the 42cm monster. Another 3cm and you could get a skinny gunner down that barrel (it has been done, one of the Armstrong RMLs at Gibraltar, 1902 - went down a Gunner, came out a Bombardier).
