Hi

Is there one in the catalogue (the basic German divisional heavy howitzer)? I cannot see it, I can see a 15cm IG but presume that is not the same thing?

Any hep gratefully received.

Cheers Paul

Nope, they ain't; as you say the 18 is the standard long-barrelled job you see all over the place.  Whereas the stubbier 15 cm sIG 33 is the heavy infantry gun.  8)

Well, the carriage was also used for the PaK 43/41 AT gun, which is available (GRA27). And the barrel is in the Hummel SP gun (GRV81). So maybe it can be cobbled together from those?

So we could buy one of GRA27 and one GRV21 and have a 15 cm schwere Feldhaubitze 18 and a Hornisse?

That should also work, so it's worth a try. I don't know if all the parts can be fitted together though. Maybe some fiddling is required.

I have a small order almost ready to go, a couple more packs won't break the bank.

That quote is almost always untrue.  It starts that way then .............  :)
