Hi my first post.

Thanks for the comments

To answer Helens question first, yes mountain gun, and different mountain troops are on the list.

For those that like their pulp, the 50l flamethrower for the Austrians is certainly "right up your street" think a cross between a deep sea diver and a welder  :D

The site is now live and the pilot is a complimentary figure with orders of 3 packs and he is ours!

kind regards

Thankyou for your reply, and welcome to the LAF.

I do look forward in seeing this mountain gun being released at some point.

Good luck with your company and may there be good fortune for all.

Helen
Best wishes,

Here are two Austrian Mountain guns that I took photos from the Australian War Memorial Annex.

Also here are two links that may be handy if you aren't aware already:

The first is the 75 mm without shield and the second a 10 cm Austrian mountaingun:

Thank you

we do have some pictures/books already, but more views are always helpful. Especially of real guns still in existance.
The AH used a smaller field piece as well.

Ideally some pictures of the forthcoming Italians will be on the web site in the next couple of days, I have some basic technology to master :o

Thankyou for your reply and yes I'm aware the Austrians had smaller mountain guns. We captured some mountains guns at Romani along with some Germans machine gunners:

Helen,

Those Austrian guns still have their original paint !! This was a ubiquitous Austrian version of field grey (different from the German color), which would be found on their helmets, gasmask cannisters, etc.... a good reference for figure painters.

Thanks John,

It means that a number of these gun captured in Sinai and Palestine retained their original colours.

The 'feild grey' on the gun looks like the same colour as Vellejo panzer colours - rusian tanker 2
