Thanks for the news!
I checked the link hidden in one of the images and found a lot of interesting stuff:
One of them is an armoured truck based on the Lancia 3 RO,
this truck could also tow an armoured trailer to carry additional troops …
Yes Wip3D has lots of interesting stuff - the Italian tank trailers are fantastic subjects. If you don’t want to buy direct from them, Misterkit stocks most of their items.

Australian and NZ ones in Vietnam (The Australian designation is L5 105mm Pack Howitzer)
It could even be carried inside a M113A1, thanks to the foldable trails

Typical! Just when I’d laid in a stock from Mouse House last year when they decided to call it a day. However, a very useful model for those wishing to depict Royal Artillery weapons; I believe the Bundeswehr also used it with their mountain troops albeit with a modified muzzle brake. It was of course, used by countless others not just some of the NATO nations.
I remember these at the anuual Artillery firepower demonstrations when I was a boy back in the 60s.
I hope to try and model one as shown in this ancient Airfix Magazine cover:
However, given my current build rate it won’t be any time soon.
However, nice to see a model of this weapon available again.
