Gun Month - QF 2 Pounder Completion

The 2nd of tonight's posts deals with the QF 2 Pounder hybrid that Al (The beer swilling, cricket mad, bootneck) threw my way. Again as with the D-1 a coat of primer and OD touched up with some weathering sealed the deal.
Unsure of what decaling to apply to this bad boy, but I will complete some research on the net to get some ideas.
Of course the real reason why it has taken so long to finish off is getting crews sorted out. These two are from the Airfix QF 25 Pounder set. The Crews from this set and the QF 2 Pounder, again from Airfix are a war gamers staple for British Artillery gunners. note the figure closest, the gun seat slips under his floating arse.

  7. Cheers Al and Mr West, I am quite suprised on how popular early war is and how under resourced the market is for the same period. Nuts.
