I much like the First to Fight kits, they have good details with less parts. So you can easily finish the build to start the paintwork (which I much like in modellmaking), or you can add a few modifications and details if you want.
Another nice kit out of their range, a 15cm s.FH. 18. Here you find a few more parts, but much lesser than in other common kits, but with very fine details. I build the kit right out of box, no extras added. The only things I will replace are the wheels. Only the metal wheels for the horse drawn version are included in the kit, but I want to build the traction mode version, so I have to replace the wheels with a self made 3D printed version. This is still in progress, so stay tuned.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Well, with a little help from my friends I now have 3D printed wheels, based on a drawing I have made🙂
Thx mates 🙂

Ups, I missed your kind comments. Thx my friends 🙂

Well, meanwhile FtF announced the gun with carriage and wheels for motor traction, but anyway this one is unique 😄

Very cool. What 3D software are you using for the wheel design Christian?
18 March 2022, 18:22
Christian Bruer
Sure Spanjaard 🙂

@Alec, I just made the sketch. The 3D design was made by a friend. I have no idea what kind of software he used to design it.

Well Alec, after nearly a year I'd like to say thx for the thumb up 😄

Anyhow, the howitzer is finishes as well as some figures painted. Now up to create a little scenery - I hope it will not take another year 😄
Happy Modelling, Christian
