1980's NZ M101 105mm Guns

I have a week off work due to the slow down with the earthquake, so I have ripped into a couple of ROCO M101 guns to make a Kiwi 105mm Battery for operations in Al and myselfs 80's themed wargaming series.
NZ version of Desert MERDC again, which places the dark yellow as the base.

Nice little pieces and much better than my scatchbuilt ones, which incidentally will arm my ROK forces.

Now onto some crew stands...The tractors will be NZ Unimogs, and these are under preparation.

  1. Mate, awesome, the paintwork sure brings back a few memories, Waiouru, Tekapo, Dartmoor. I trained on this and the L5 in the eighties, but don't tell anyone okay:)?

  2. I sure won't mate. I get a pinch in the stomach myself outside the Hokitika RSA when I see the one at the entrance.

  5. These Roco guns are great little models - and clearly have the added bonus of allowing you and Al an opportunity to wallow in nostalgia. It's not what it used to be...

  6. Cheers Nick. I was lucky to pick these up as you grabbed most of the plastic kits on the shelfs of the South Island.
