British WW2 Heavy Artillery

 I recently took charge of a portion of the Eric Knowles WW2 collection.  I now own the 1940 British and early war Germans, or some of them at least.  As always, there is some rebasing and organising to be done.  Unfortunately, I did not get all of the British artillery and thought it would be nice to have some heavy guns, although I am not too sure how I would fit them onto my 8 x 4 table!

So, with reinforcements in mind, I purchased a couple of Resin 7.2" howitzers and a Strelets 6" gun, to provide the crew, which are dressed largely in 1940s, early war uniforms.  A couple of Oxford Diecast gun tractors were also purchased.

I had a lot of fun putting this lot together and here is the result:




I have some Vickers light tanks and Matildas to paint, along with a load of German horse drawn transport. I should soon be ready for a game or two.
