I'm looking for Dragon's 15CM SIG 33 Howitzer, kit#6261.
If you have one I'd prefer a trade but am willing to buy for a reasonable price.
Thanks for stopping by!

Sorry don't have one to trade/sell, but I have made this kit and have since learned that there are some accuracy issues with it. For example it comes with the mechanised towing wheels, but lacks all the hydraulics and electrics such a weapon should be fitted with. Also the crew doesn't really work with this weapon, being originally designed for the Gustav I believe. You may be better looking out for the AFV Club version, which although I haven't made it myself is said to be a more accurate rendering.

Thanks for the reply Steve! I didn't realize there were big issues with the kit. And, thanks for the tip about the AFV Club version.
I plan on building it being towed using Dragon's SdKfz7 (8)t halftrack,#6562.
