Guns Database

##Combine all guns (except rockets) and list in calibre. Attach target to each gun to indicate class (howitzer, flak, AT, etc) so that an index can be included at top.
Guns Database

This is a database for various artillery pieces that were employed in modern wars ending with WW2. Many WW1 and earlier guns are included, as many saw
This database should not be considered definitive by any standards. This is purely for personal reference puposes.

I've concentrated on 1/72 scale guns but a few 1/76 plastic guns are included as well as these are easy to come by and offer quick conversion possibilies.

Notes: Regarding medium
Injection Plastic	Standard plastic model kits.
LP Plastic	Low pressure injection plastic kits. A.k.a. limited production run plastic model kits. These are kits using molds designed for lower pressure injection process. Note that some LP Plastic kits may not be as sharp as their standard plastic cousin, but there are many times when the opposite can be true. Improperly maintained molds of standard injection plastic kits will degrade while well designed LP plastic kits may appear to be sharper than many standard injection process kits.
Soft Plastic	Injection plastic model kits but using material that is softer than standard model kits, i.e. plastic toy soldier kits.
Resin	Kits made of poured or injected resin. Many of these kits are catagorized as limited run garage kits, but some are widely available.
Metal	Mostly white metal kits, but it may include some other type of metallic alloy.
Notes: Regarding availability
Easy	Kits commonly stocked in your local hobby stores.
Normal	Kits commonly stocked at large hobby store centers and available through the Internet quite easily.
Hard	Recently discontinued or spot production run kits.

Chinese Guns
< Standard Guns >
(7.5 cm Gebirgskanone Model 1911)	Ehrhardt, Germany	---	---	---	The gun may have been exported to China. See also here.
15cm sFH 18	Rheinmetall				These guns were importated from German and used against the Japanese. Exactly how many were importated, I'm not certain. At least 3 were captured by the Japanese during the conflict. There is considerable speculation regarding the exact nature of these guns. Photographic evidence points out that the guns are not the exactly the same as the one that were in service to the Heer, so it could have been that Rheinmetall made an export version of this gun.

75mm Canon de 75 Mle 1897/33		-France -Germany	w:1500kg r:11100m v:575m/sec	1933 / ?	An updated anti-tank version of the gun that was not widely adopted into French service. Nonetheless, this gun was widely exported and a few held by the French were captured by the Germans after 1940. The greatest difference between the 1897/33 and the predecessor was the split trail design. The shield shape was changed as well. There are probably other various changes that I am not aware of. Note that this version originally did not have rubber tires like the motorized artillery version that would arrive in 1938.

Basically this was the same gun moderized with the addition of rubber tires so that it could be handled by motorized transport better. 4500 is the figure commonly attributed to how many were in service with the French Army at the outbreak of WW2. Many more were exported and were moderized according to local needs. The Germans, extremely short on effective PaK guns against the Russians at the outset of Ost Front, converted over 600 of the French 75 into PaK guns as the 7.5 cm PaK 97/38.

3.7cm Flak 18		-Germany -China -Japan			The Chinese Nationalists also imported this gun. The Japanese captured a number of the guns from the Chinese and they were so impressed by it, they went ahead and purchased 10 of the guns from Germany. This became the Type Ra Anti-Air Gun. =Possible Sources= While the 3.7cm Flak 36's carriage is differnt, the firing mechanism itself is the same, so kits of that model might be a good starting point to make this gun.

7.5 cm Gebirgskanone Model 1911	Ehrhardt	-Norway -Germany (-China)	509kg	1910	Mountain designed and exported prior to WW1. When Nazi Germany overtook Norway, the captured over 36 of these guns and distrbuted to mountaineer units based in Norway as the GebK247(n.) The gun may have been exported to China, but I'm not certain.
7.5cm Gebirgskanone M.15	Skoda	-Germany -Ost Front German allies -China -Italy -Poland -Turky -Yugoslavs	613kg	1915 / ?	Just to clarify, the original name of the gun was the Skoda 75 mm Model 15. The Germans adopted the name 7.5cm GebK 15 or 7.5 cm GebK 259(i) (in the case when the gun was taken from Italian sources.)

	Ace	LP plastic	1/72	Normal
7.5cm PaK 40
German Weapons Set	Italeri 7026 (Esci)	Injection plastic	1/72	Easy	This italeri kit includes the 3.7cm PaK36, the 7.5cm PaK40 and 2cm Flak 38 Flakvierling. It also includes one prone MG gunner, one prone man using binoculars, one NCO type directing the guns, one man using a range finder, four men crouching as if operating the guns, totally 8 figures. Esci released featured this PaK 40 as part of the Sd.Kfz. 11 3-ton Halftrack & Pak 40 set, but they also released it seperately as part of Esci's #8020 German Anti-Tank Gun kit. The fact that the PaK40 in this kit was also released together with a Sd.Kfz. 11 Halftrack perhaps explains why the gun is depicted at full recoil, as any gun with a long barrel is usually transported with the barrel locked at a fully retracted position both to reduce clearance and the stress on the barrel during transport.

7.5cm leIG 18	Rheinmetall	-Germany -Ost Front German allies -(China) -(Japan)	w:500kg r:3550 v:221m/sec	1932 / 8266+	One of the first artillery piece developed in Germany after WW1. Delievery to units begun 1932. Each German infantary battalion featured two fire support artillery companies that would be equipped with a total of 6 leIG18 and 2 15cm sIG33 plus numerous mortars.

7.5cm FK 18	Krupp	-Germany	w:1120kg r:9425m v:425m/sec	1938 /	Designed as a replacement for the aging FK16nA, the main emphasis of the FK18 was to be lighter in weight, change the controls of the gun so that it could be managed by one person sitting left of the gun, and a new recoil system was developed. The range of the gun was actually less than that of the FK16 but the weight was cut by 200kg. Production was limited and regulated mostly to cavalry units.
7.5cm FK 38	Krupp	-Brazil -Germany	w:1366kg r:11500m v:605m/sec	1939 / 64 + 80	Originally created to meet an order from the Brazillian Army, the FK38 is improved version of the FK18 designed specifically for export. After the production of 64 guns was completed for the Brazillians, another 80 was manufactured for the Heer. The gun is very similar to the FK18 but included a longer barrel, an addition of a muzzle brake, and later on new rubber rimmed wheels were supplied to aid in the faster transportation of the gun. The rounds were also changed so that the warhead and charge was built in a single round.
7.7cm Feldkanone C/96 (a.k.a. FK 96 a/A)	Krupp	-Germany		1896 / ?	The base gun of the 77mm FK96 n/A. It became obsolete the year it appeared as the French 75 was introduced the very same year.
1896 n/A 77mm Gun (a.k.a. 77mm FK 96 n/A)	Krupp	-Germany -China -Japan	w:1020kg r:7800m v:465m/sec	1904 / 3700+	WW1 gun. This gun is a "modernized" version of the FK96 created in response to the appearance of the French 75. The FK96 n/A and FK96 a/A don't look at all similar, as the carriage, recoil system, and shield was added anew. China purchased a fair number of these guns, and a number of them fell into Japanese hands. The Japanese also imported this gun but made a few changes and adopted a slightly modified version of this gun. The Japanese Type 38 7.5cm Field Gun, while similiar, is not the exact same as this gun.
German WWI Artillery	Emhar 7204	Soft plastic	1/72	Easy	2 guns are included per kit. = Conversion Possibilites = -This gun can be easily converted to Japan's Type 35 7.5cm Field Gun with a number of changes, most notably by changing the shape of the gun shield. -This gun can be converted to Japan's Type 41 Cavalry Gun by changing the shape of the gun shield, the shape of the breach, and building a thinner trail. -It may be possible to convert it to a Japan's 10.5cm Converted Type 1914 Howitzer, but I don't know enough about the gun to say for sure.
7.7cm FK 16 7.5cm FK 16 n/A	Rheinmetall	-Germany -Belgium -China -Japan	FK16: w:1380kg r:9100m v:420 ~ 545sec/m FK16nA: w:1380kg r:12875m v:662m/sec	FK16 - 1916 FK16n/A - 1930's / 3000+	WW1 gun. The calibre was changed to 7.5cm when the Heer decided to untilize 7.5cm as a standard size. The gun was imported by China and there is even a local version of the gun. The Japanese captured a fair number of the gun from the Chinese. Enough FK16's fell into Japanese hands that a number of them were converted to 10.5cm Howitzers (See under Japan's 10.5cm Converted Type 1914 Howitzer.)
WWI German Artillery	Hat 8109	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	4 sets of guns and limbers are included per kit. The kit includes an additional 10 different figures, and 8 each of 2 and 4 each of 8 result in a total of 48 figures. In other words, 4 sets of guns where each gun could be accompanied by 12 WW1 German artillery figures.. The gun in this kit is a considerably simplified model designed for wargaming. At the very least, the shield and the breach needs to be redone to make a more pleasing display model. Ideally you'll want to work on the optics (which is missing), the handles, and the trailer as well. The trailer looks considerably different from the original. The figures are rather crude but could be easily improved upon by changin the heads from other kits and/or adding figures from other kits. = Conversion Possibilites = -The leFH16 could be made using this kit by changing the barrel. This kit would be better as the brackets on the barrel are larger than the gun included with the Ottoman Artillery set. -The Chinese both imported this gun and made a local version of it. -The Japanese adopted this gun as the 7.7cm Field Gun when they captured a number of them from the Chinese. -The Japanese 10.5cm Converted Type 1914 Howitzer is based on this gun but the barrel and shield would have to be changed.
Artillery (Spanish Civil War)	Bum 5032	Soft plastic	1/72	Hard	Repackaged Hat 8109 kit. Each kit includes two guns and 10 figures. The gun itself is the exact same as the Hat 8109, the figures are all new. The package states only 900 of these kits were made.

Diorama Set #10 88mm High Altitude Gun Set	Eidai	Injection plastic	1/76	mid 1970's / Hard*	A simple kit that only comes in 6 parts. Amazingly enough, the cradle is in a single piece and appears to be done with very early slide mold technology. While there is no doubt the kit is very simple, it still looks pretty darn good. The kit includes the travel carriages as well as a few three seperate round and 3 boxes of rounds. While the transport trailer is missing , the gun itself is included in Eidai's German Secret Strong Point listed below. * - This kit was re-released from Arii for some time during the 1990's but the production has been discontinued since the 2000's.
German Secret Strong Point	Eidai	Injection plastic	1/76	mid 1970's / Hard*	A massive kit of a German bunker complex. The kit includes both new parts as well as parts from other Diorama Set kits. Most of the new parts are specific to the interior facilities of the bunker complex. Artillery wise, the kit includes the following: - Quad 2cm Flak 38 x1 - 3.7cm Flak 36 x1 - Mysterious 5cm PaK Gun of some type x1 - 8.8cm Flak 18 x1 Also noteworthy is the large number of figures, a massive range finder, crudely simplified radar dish, and a searchlight being included. I plan on providing more detail regarding this kit in a different page, so I'll just mention that the kit included a number of motorcycles, small vehicles, and a PzIV. * - The production of this kit is ongoing by Arii. They supply might not be constant, but the Arii/MircoAce version should not be so hard to locate.

The kit includes the MG 08 along with a large number of WW1 Turkish troops, but does not include the limber included in the the "WWI German Artillery" set. Good simplified model designed for wargaming. More details are needed to convert this into a more accurate display model.
10.5cm leFH 16	Rheinmetall	-Germany -China -Japan	w:1525kg r:9225m v:395m/sec	Over 3000	WW1 gun that existed in large numbers even at that start of WW2. Basically an improved version of the 10.5cm leFH 98/09 with a longer range thanks to a longer barrel. The Heer regulated these guns for training role by the time of 1939, but the guns were incorporated as part of the Atlantic Wall fortification later on. The gun was imported by China and there is even a local version of the gun. The Japanese captured a fair number of the gun from the Chinese. For some reason the Koei book attributes the leFH16 as a Krupp gun. I wonder why...
(WWI German Artillery)	Hat 8109	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	A change in the barrel with Hat's WWI German Artillery would be a good start toward building this kit.

Many 10.5cm leFH18 were converted to the 10.5cm leFH18M standard in the field. Each German infantry division were specified to be accompanied by an artillery regiment with 20 7.5cm class guns plus 36 10.5cm class guns. China imported a number of the original leFH18 guns and there are photographs of both the Nationalists and the Communists employing the guns. There is distinct possiblity that a few of the guns might have fallen into Japanese hands as well.

One is depicted in firing position surrounded by 7 men while the another is depicted as being transported with the trail collapsed and a full 6 horse team and limber included. 1 lone horse with rider is also included, seperate from the transport team. Even three outriders are included with the team, plus four riding the limber. A massive kit without question.

A massive gun reproduced with a fair amount of detail but a lot of clean of is required as it appears that the mold is getting considerably tired. The figures included are very simple and pretty crude.

The Nebelwerfer looks terrible and a lot of work would be needed to make it have a passing resemblence with the original. It's a shame as the rest of the kit is not all that bad. The sWG40 brackets are quite good and until the appearance of the Dragon Sd.Kfz.251 with sWuR40, these sWG40 frames were better then the ones included with the Esci Sd.Kfz.251 with sWuR40. The flak guns are quite delicate and attractive looking.

3.7cm Type Ra Anti Tank Gun	Rheinmetall	-Japan			Japan captured a number of PaK36 from the Chinese, enough so that it was adopted into service.
(PaK36 kits)	---	---	---	---	There are a number of good PaK36 kits available to build this gun.
3.7cm Type Ra High Altitude Gun					Having captured 3.7cm Flak 18 from the Chinese, the IJA was so impressed that they decided to purchase over 10 of these guns from the original manufacturer. Just to note, technically the IJA referred to AA guns as high altitude guns while the IJN referred to them as high angle guns.

47mm Type 1 Mobile High Velocity Gun				1942? / 2300+?
7cm Type 92 Infantry Gun		-Japan	w:204kg r:2800m v:197m/sec	1932 / 3000+?	One of the most numerous artillery pieces utilized by the IJA, this gun was commonly referred to the as the Battalion Gun as each infantry battalion was equipped with two of these guns. The gun was designed so that it could be used both as a high trajectory mortar like projectile shooter as well as a direct fire artillery piece, and for that reason featured a double elevator gear mechanism. While the gun itself was adopted into use in 1932, units in the field complained about how the wheel made too much noise. A new wheel was designed and adopted in 1935. Later on during the Pacific War, US and Australian forces that captured the gun and used it complained about how the gun blast sound caused hard of hearing because it was so loud.
	Leva	Resin	1/72	Rare	Leva kits are very difficult to find as of 2007.

75mm Type 41 Mountain Gun		-Japan -Japanese allies -China	w:539.5kg r:6300m v:360m/sec	1908 /	Originally developed as a mountain gun, the Type 41 was delegated to infantry support role following the adoption of the Type 94 Mountain Gun in November of 1945. During WW2, the Type 41 was referred to as the Regimental Gun, as each infantry regiment were equipted with 4 guns. Note there are at least two version of a shield for this gun. One is wider than the other. The gun was both exported to China and captured by the Chinese at different time. The Chinese also produced a local production version of this gun.
75mm Type 94 Mountain Gun		-Japan	w:536kg r:8300m v:392m/sec	1935 / 1500+?	Noting advances in metal working technology and improvements in metallurgy, development of a replacement for the Type 41 Mountain Gun started in 1931. The first prototype development was cerainly an improvement with regarding to ballastic capabilities, but the weight increased too much. The final product was impressive in that the weight was virtually the same, but the performance capabilities increased considerablly. While the Type 41 was a screw breach with a single trail, the Type 94 employed a horizontal slide breach with a split trail design. Just like with the Type 41, the Type 94 could be broken down in to components suitable for pack transportation by 6 horses with an additional two horses assigned to carrying ammunition. Constructed, the gun could be towed by one or two horses as well.
Japanese Infantry	Fujimi 76030	Injection plastic	1/76	Easy	While the dimentions are not terrible, the overall make is very heavy. The wheels are very heavy compared to the original and the shield is too thick. Fixing the shield is one thing but fixing the wheels will be next to impossible from the parts in this kit. The mold mis-alignment makes cleaning up the gun barrel very difficult as well. The kit is not at all rare in Japan and it is periodically manufactured and stocked in many stores in Japan.
7.5cm Type 38 Field Gun	-Krupp -Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan -China	w:947kg r:8350m v:510m/sec	1911 / 2000?	Very similar to the 77mm 1896 n/A 77mm gun but there are notable differences in the shape of the shield and such. The gun was both imported in whole and in parts from Krupp, plus the gun was domestically manufactured as well. Not only was the gun was manufactured in Japan, but a fair number was exported to the Chinese prior to the initiation of hostilities between the two nations. Note that while the gun was chosen for purchase from Krupp at about 1904 and the gun's name designation specifies Meiji 38 (1905,) the gun was not formally incorporated into IJA service until 1911.
(German WW1 Artillery)	Emhar 7204	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	Emhar's German WW1 Artillery kit provides a good source.
7.5cm Type 38 Kai (Improved) Field Gun	Osaka Artillery Factory?	-Japan	w:1135kg r:10700m v:520m/sec	1930 / 400?	In an attempt to extend the range of the Type 38, the IJA worked on different ideas. One idea was to change the shape of the trailer so that the gun could be elevated higher. While the higher elevation did improve the range of the gun, the design of the new trailer was not very good, and units in the field would later discover that the gun's trailer and/or recoil system had a tendency to fail after repeated use.
(German WW1 Artillery)	Emhar 7204	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	Emhar's German WW1 Artillery kit could be a starting point, but you would need to do a lot of work on the trailer, as this was completely different.
7.5cm Type 41 Cavalry Gun		-Japan	903kg		A design utilizing the gun from the Type 38 7.5cm Field Gun. The breach was changed from the horizontal slide type to a screw type and other small improvements allowed this gun to be slightly less heavy than the Type 38.
(German WW1 Artillery)	Emhar 7204	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	Emhar's German WW1 Artillery kit provides a good source.
7.5cm Type 90 Field Gun	Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan	1400kg	1932 / ?	A new field gun piece that the IJA ordered Schneider to design and produce the protype. The gun proved satisfactory and improvements were made while the Osaka Artillery Factory took over production. The gun was adopted in 1932 along with the new Type 91 10.5cm Howitzer as the new standard division level artillery piece. The gun itself would later be adopted as a SPG as the Type 1 "Honi" SPG Tank. = Possible Sources = There are no kits of either Type 90 7.5cm guns, but is Fujimi's 1/76 Type 1 "Honi" SPG is an injection plastic that's easy to get a hold of that does provide you with the gun itself. One would have to build the carriage and wheels if you wanted to build the gun as a field piece. While the kit is 1/76, the gun actually appears to be too big, but I have not measured it against drawing to say for sure.
7.5cm Type 90 Mobile Field Gun	Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan	1600kg	1935 / 600+	Essentially the Type 90 7.5cm Field Gun with a new carriage equipped with rubber tires and suspension system. = Possible Sources = There are no kits of either Type 90 7.5cm guns, but is Fujimi's 1/76 Type 1 "Honi" SPG is an injection plastic that's easy to get a hold of that does provide you with the gun itself. One would have to build the carriage and wheels if you wanted to build the gun as a field piece. While the kit is 1/76, the gun actually appears to be too big, but I have not measured it against drawing to say for sure.
7.5cm Type 95 Field Gun		-Japan	1108kg	1936 / 200?	While the Type 90 7.5cm Field Gun was quite popular by the units in the field, there was considerable debate regarding its weight during the initial trials stage. Some high command officers felt that the gun must be improved upon, and this lead to the creation of the Type 95. The Type 95 is considerably lighter than the Type 90 but its range was less limited as well. Nevertheless the gun was adopted into service, but it never replaced the Type 90 either. Basically the IJA adopted both the Type 90 and the Type 95 and even still it was woefully short on artillery pieces during the war.
7.7cm Field Gun	Krupp	-Japan (originally China)	1330kg	1935? / At least 20?	Originally imported into China by the Chinese forces in Manchuria, a large number of these guns fell into Japanese hands. Note while the text inside the Koei book on IJN weapons indicates the gun here was the 77mm FK96 n/A, the drawing and other references indicates it was in fact the FK16 instead.
(WWI German Artillery)	Hat 8109	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	Hat's WW1 German Artillery may be of some use.
10.5cm Type 38 Cannon	Krupp	-Japan	2594kg (total weight) 1255kg (gun alone)	1911	Initially imported from Germany along with Krupp's 7.5cm field gun, 12cm and 15cm howitzer. While the order of this gun was placed at Krupp with the intention of employing it during the Russo-Japanese War, the guns arrived too late to be of any meaningful use for that conflict. Note that while the gun was chosen for purchase from Krupp at about 1904 and the gun's name designation specifies Meiji 38 (1905,) the gun was not formally incorporated into IJA service until 1911.
10.5cm Type 14 Cannon		-Japan	w:3115kg r:15300m v:640m/sec	1925
10.5cm Type 91 Howitzer	-Schneider -Nagoya Factory	-Japan	1500kg	1932 / 1100?	Adopted into service in 1 Since the Type 38 was essentially a pre WW1 design, there was a desire to adopt a more modern gun on the part of the Japanese. Enter Schneider's 10cm howitzer that the IJA officers inspected on tour in 1924. Schneider completed a gun in 1930 in order to meet the specifications that the Japanese submitted and following trails, the gun was adopted in May of 1932. The government's Nagoya Factory came up with a imporved wheel transport system and this was adopted for use later on.
10.5cm Type 91 Mobile Howitzer	Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan	1750kg	1941 / 100?
10.5cm Type 92 Cannon		-Japan	w:3730kg r:18200m v:765m/sec	1935	Incorporating design elements from Schneider, the gun was a considerable improvement over the Type 14 10.5cm Cannon. While the performance of the gun was much better, limitations in the reliablity of the gun would later come up in the 1939 skirmish between Japan and Russia in Manchuria. Extensive combat use resulted in the trail fracture and other problems. It appeared that the gun, used under stressful conditions firing rounds with the strongest charge for maximum range had a tendency to fail. Nevertheless, the gun soldiered on until the end of the war as the basic performance of the gun was satisfactory.
10.5cm Converted Type 1914 Howitzer	-Krupp	-Japan	1350kg	1937 / At least 20?	Following the Manchurian Incident, a large number of FK16's being used by the local Chinese forces fell into Japanese hands. Based on a desire to standardize the ammunition, the IJA converted the 77mm FK16's so it could handle the same 10.5cm rounds used by the Type 91 10.5cm Howitzer and adopted the gun into the service in 1937 as the 10.5cm Converted Type 1914 Howitzer. Just to point out, this gun is not the same as the 10.5cm leFH 98/09. The barrel is a lot longer and the shield looks very different. It's a little closer to the 10.5cm FH16, but the barrel is shorter and the shield is different from that gun as well. I don't know how the breach and trail compares. Note while the text inside the Koei book on IJN weapons indicates the gun used as the base for conversion here was the 77mm FK96 n/A, the drawing and other references indicates it was in fact the FK16 instead.
(German WW1 Artillery)	Hat 7204	Soft plastic	1/72	Normal	It may be possible to use Hat's WWI German Artillery kit as a base for this gun. That kit would actually be closer than Hat's 10.5cm leFH 98/09 included in "WWI Ottoman Artillery and Machine Guns" kit.
12cm Type 38 Howitzer	Krupp	-Japan	w:1257kg (total weight) 410kg (gun alone) r: v:	1911	Initially imported from Germany along with Krupp's 7.5cm field gun, 10.5cm cannon and 15cm howitzer. Note that while the gun was chosen for purchase from Krupp at about 1904 and the gun's name designation specifies Meiji 38 (1905,) the gun was not formally incorporated into IJA service until 1911.
15cm Type 38 Howitzer	Krupp	-Japan	w:2230kg (total weight) 770kg (gun alone) r:5890 v:275	1911	Initially imported from Germany along with Krupp's 7.5cm field gun, 10.5cm cannon and 12cm howitzer. Note that while the gun was chosen for purchase from Krupp at about 1904 and the gun's name designation specifies Meiji 38 (1905,) the gun was not formally incorporated into IJA service until 1911.
15cm Type 4 Howitzer	Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan	w:2800kg r:8800m v:398m/sec	1915
15cm Shusei (Corrected) Type 4 Howitzer	Osaka Artillery Factory	-Japan	w:2800kg? r: v:	1931	The limitations of the range of the Type 4 15cm was becoming rather glaring by 1925. The chamber was extended to allow a more powerful charge to be utilized and to compensate the recoil mechanism was altered as well. The gun later would be tinkered with again as the years went on, but each subsequent improvement had a tendency to contribute to the degradation of the guns endurance capabilities.
Type Ra 15cm Howitzer	Rheinmetall	-Japan			The Ra in Type Ra refers to Rheinmetall. Photographs show multiple 15cm sFH18 being captured from the Chinese Nationalists. Note that the guns may be slighterly different from the ones used by the Heer. Some were used in the field but at least one was taken back to Japan where it was used for testing purposes and used as a tool in aiding development of domestic guns. References state that the Type 98 6-ton tractor was used to transport these guns.
(sFH18)	Ace 722218	LP plastic	1/72	Normal	This kit would be a very good base to build this gun.

6 Pounder (54mm) anti-tank gun	?	-UK and Cmnwlth	?	?
Eighth Army	Esci 8019	Injection plastic	1/72	Early 1970's / Very Rare	The kit includes one gun and a crew of three to go along with the 6 pounder, plus 16 infantry figures with a fair number of duplicates. The kit includes a total of 10 different poses. The kit is essentially a shrunken down version of the 1/35 Tamiya kit. The kit has been long out of production and is hotly sought after on auction sites. Not an easy kit to find.
QF 13 Pounder (76.2mm) Horse Artillery Gun
Royal Horse Artillery	Airfix 01731	Soft plastic	1/76	Easy	Two guns and a limber and horse team included in each set. The gun is very very simple and the horse team is rather toy like (but then again, this is a very early Airfix figure set) but the figures actually fare considerablly better.

While the package states "Morris Quad" it actually is a Canadian Ford vehicle. The two look a bit similar, but it would be nice if they would get around to clarifying the difference. A crew of 6 is included in the kit. If you have the 1/35 Tamiya kit of the 25 pounder kit, you'll notice a lot of similarities.
