Evening all,

Whilst meandering through the web for inspiration I found this picture which are claimed to be Pendraken "WWII German 150mm infantry guns":


from http://leadnobleed.blogspot.co.uk/2010_10_01_archive.html

Are they Pendraken and can anyone identify the code please?

Cheers!

It certainly looks like the 150mm IG code GR99

Thanks for the info, I shall see if I can find any other pictures for confirmation.  Any idea if these are the same as SCW107 "German 150mm field gun"?

Cheers,

Meirion

PS Stupid question time, what does the IG stand for?!  :-/

Don't think those are GR99

This is gr99, notice that the gun shield and carriage are diferent



O Dinas Powys

Thanks Peter,

Yeah, it's fairly similar, but the gun shield on the unknown is far more sculpted and ornate.  Also the definition on the barrel seems better, although that could just be the lighting/painting.

Hmm...  :-\

The only gun i can google up with that kind of curved gunshield is a 105mm k 34, but it still doesn't look the same



Might be this?

http://www.pendraken.co.uk/GR40-p4317/

The fact that the barrel is better defined on the one you show, might be because it's a slightly smaller caliber, hence smaller than the Support underneath. With the 150mm (gr99), the barrel is just as large, hence less detail where it 'meets' if you know what i mean

I think this is the gun, found a flames of war picture:

15cm Sig 33




Off course, wich one it is in the catalog is a mystery, maybe this?

Think we need Leon for this!

IG is infantry gun!

To be correct, the SIG stands for schweres Infanterie Geschütz
