 SBG02 - 13 POUNDER GUN  SBG03 - 18 POUNDER GUN  SBG05 - 4.5 INCH HOWITZER

The 13-pounder gun equipped a cavalry division's horse artillery brigade at the beginning of World War I.  These guns were considered too light for trench warfare and the horse artillery brigades were up-gunned to the 18-pounder in the Spring of 1915.

The 18-pounder divisional gun fired an 8.6kg (19 pound) shell, substantially heavier than its German counterpart.  It equipped all of the Regular Army artillery brigades at the start of World War I.  By the Spring of 1915, all brigades were so equipped. The 4.5 inch divisional howitzer fired a 114mm 17.5kg (39 pound) projectile and was well-suited to positional warfare where it could "lob" its HE rounds at a higher trajectory making it an effective indirect-fire weapon.  SEE PAINTED MODEL BELOW

Kit $38.00 $32.00

 SMG06 - GUN LIMBER FOR 13/18 POUNDER GUN

This is the standard gun limber for divisional artillery and is a necessary element to correctly depict a 13- or 18-pounder gun drawn by a six-horse team.  It was also used in a modified form for the articulated limbered G. S. wagon that was used for transporting supplies up to the front line.

Kit $39.00 $27.00
