Blitz makes nice stuff, but it's often OOP. That's my biggest problem with their line. If you like this item, I urge you to order it RIGHT AWAY.

On the other hand, the OOP items usually come back a year or so later. I get the impression that they rotate the molds in and out of production. There are several items that I wanted, didn't get before they went OOP and now they are back again.

This mortar transport is part of a whole set that was sold earlier:

It was Blitz-Kit 35FS 4021

Actually it looks as if the complete set is still for sale:

aaaannnnnd now you need two of these tractors/trucks to tow it all


The Renault EG is here:

All of the unnecessary white space above is part of the photo so it is not my fault

I read that it may also be towed by horses, though I guess one may need to source out more than two.
