A few months ago I mentioned that it was a conversation with John Perry of Dartmoor Military Models that got me thinking about infantry heavy equipment such as a mortar. I have now seen their 1:35 scale British 81mm mortar, and what a beauty it is. Cast in white metal it is neither a large nor complicated subject to assemble, however, the castings are really excellent examples of just how good models can be produced in this medium. At the present time I don't know of any crew figures, but the mortar itself is well worth producing as a kit It is simply packaged, along with a diagram of the mortar with all the parts numbers clearly labelled. Also included are three ammunition packs and one mortar round.
