It looks good. <br /><br />Since the gunners and the infantry will usually have some diastase between them the size difference will not be readily apparent, particularly if they are Russians deployed near the "straight-up" marching Russian infantry.Rahwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488589626156732906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949706697278532115.post-40291483470461507912017-06-08T16:21:02.841+01:002017-06-08T16:21:02.841+01:00The new guns look great!

I think it...Thank you Steve. The wheels look good.<br /><br />I think it is understood that compromises are needed when trying to use one carriage for many purposes.<br />Two questions:<br />Are the gunners much larger than the infantry?<br />The angled vent does not show on the Austrian gun due to the angle of the photo. Does it look right to you?
