Small Scale Military Headquarters

Who knows this model???
For me it looks like a very good base for a 1:18 scaled custom LongTom Howitzer.
What do you mean?

That would be the Power Team Elite World Peacekeepers Howitzer. You can still find them around. I’ve not personally gotten one, but may do so eventually.

Crazy Kraut,
Could you possibly do a review of this Howitzer? That would be pretty useful to anyone contemplating buying one.
Thanks in advance!

I wish someone would produce a 2 1/2 ton or larger truck to tow this beast! We need 2 1/2 to 5 ton trucks in all time periods that used them in. Even a High Speed Tractor would be good to tow it with as well.

I think the DragonWagon is a useable option as a towing vehicle. And it is available in 1:18 scale on the market.

tmanthegreat is completely right. It is definetly the peacekeepers howitzer.
Right now I´m not planning to do an customizing on that howitzer because I´ve got so many more (german) projects (Lanz halftrack bulldozer, Brummbär, STUG, Jagdpanzer, Kübelwagen on tanktracks and many Luftwaffe projects too ) to do

Thanks for the info on the Dragon Wagon. I had no idea.

you can find this and more pics in the Forums custom section in the thread " how do you Display your collection"

Thank you for the link to this information and the photo! That looks very nice. I really appreciate that.

I made the Garwood winches for the M25 for the 1:16 crowd. Happy to adjust it to fit the PTE wagon for anyone that is interested.

Please forgive my ignorance, but, what is PoE? And do you make anything else for this?

Unfortunately the dragon wagon is incorrect for a long tom tow vehicle. The units equipped with the long tom used M4 artillery tractors and the Mack NO 7 1/2 ton 6x6 truck

I meant to type PTE (Power Team Elite) not PoE. That is the brand these items are produced under now.

Also, I believe they were pulled by the M1 tractors as well.



There are some Caterpillar 1/16 D2 and D4 tractors on ebay that might do the trick for a reasonable price.

There is also this beast in 1:16 for $300.

There is a diecast Caterpillar D4 tractor in 1:16 that might pass scale wise as a D6 M1 tractor in 1:18.

A 1:1 D4 crawler is 120 inches long. Which would be 190mm in 1:16.

A 1:1 D6/M1 Crawler is 149 inches which would be 210mm in 1:18.

1:16 D4


1:1 M1/D6

Grunt1, Thank you very much for that info. It is invaluable to know what to be looking for. The typo is very understandable. I have 2 of them actually, that one of my Grandsons have appropriated for play (I will get another one when I can).
Other than the winch, do you make anything else for this?

For the 1/16 M25, in addition to the winches I made the ring and mounts for the MG.

Also, in looking around to find the "PTE" missle launcher for sale I realized they were actually made by True Heroes.

Unlike the 1/16 M25 where those bits were missing, the True Heroes version has winches and a gun ring even if they aren't 100% accurate. So that might be livable for some. The bigger missing detail is the lack of dual tires on the cab. It has 6 and should have 10 total. Some people I recall bought two True Heroes Missile Haulers and stripped the tires off the trailer to make it work.

There are a number of these on ebay:

I would love to see what others have done with the True Heroes tractor. I did some internet searching on the 1/16 tractor and am blown away by the craftsmanship of the scratch building! I also did some searching fir the True Heroes tractor and couldn't find anything.

Hallo Sven, I took some pictures of a Long Tom cannon at a Local museum...

I finally got one Caterpillar CAT Twenty-Two for not too much money (think 29 Euros are OK) in Ebay germany. Except of the colour (yellow over all) it is a nice and useable towing vehicle for the long tom and (and that´s the main thing) as a captured vehicle for towing the german howitzer I´m working on right now.
