The kit comes from Blitz, just like the 155. The kit is on the average but definitively not the best offer from this company, it claims for a lot of improvements. The 155 was better, but as far I know, there is no alternative on the market.

Gilles, excellent work on the kit, these will come handy for detailing any other Schneider kit!
Any chance of having a family shot of the rear? I mean the carriages should be fairly similar (identical?) but this cannot be judged from the fronal shot. Thanks in advance, regards, Pat
To answer Pat, the carriages are similar but not identical, I'll try to post rear view as soon as possible.
To answer Paul, There was at last two pics in a WW1 periodical called "le miroir de la guerre", if I remember. Both the French booklet about the french artillery and the GBM article provide a drawing made from those pics I suppose even they don't publish their reference.
The overall scheme is as close as the ref as I can do... Colors are of course conjectural and personal choice!
Hi Paul! As far I remember it should be! Thank a lot for the link! My Grand father had preserved different diaries and publications from his WW1 years and I'll tried to find the original one in the paper he left. It will be easier now.
To Pat : one pic of the two carriages, same family different shape!
I hope it can help!

Gilles, many thanks for uploading the image and sharing it with us. Your kits are great looking but also instructive - I see now the carriages are less similar than I used to think. Regards, Pat
