        Just seen a program about this, they showed some real guts to survive that. A great idea and a nice start.

          Evening Greg,

          Great to see we are off and running on this huge project. Older kits do need lots of love and work to make them shine. I do have to ask a question though. Who makes the chain you are using on the howitzer??? I do need to get some with small links like that. Thanks in advance Sir and drive on! It's gonna be good!!!

            You are welcome Jim and thank you Steve

            Indeed Ian it was one hell of a fight and especially the moment at the Fuchillin pass was really one of the most dangerous and stunning moment.. when the tread-way bridges were brought at the dam and at the same time the seize of hill 1081

                  Greg.
                  Think someone's enjoying himself here. :surprised:
                  Agree with our V2 expert on the chain, but that does look good. How long is it please ?

                                Hi Greg
                                Treadway looks good. Glad you got it sorted. Howitzer is great - much improved.
