looking help for a conversion project
Permalink   


Hello,


Some years ago, I've bought the whole Palmer/Emhar Series of 1/24 artillery pieces for bargain price in Paris. One of them them is the US Model 1902 3inch field gun. I think it's the only big scale turn of the century field gun model in plastic. However I can't say that I'm happy with producer's selection of subject: it's certainly a peripheral gun, produced in small numbers and used once; in an unimportant action. I wonder if there shall be a possibility of conversion to another gun (a krupp model perhaps ?) with some hope of success.

Howdy!

That's no "peripheral gun" , that's Texas A&M's cannon the "Spirit of '02" which is fired at football games each time the Aggies score! Take a look here and at the attached images:
