British Bishop Self-Propelled Gun by Chan Jackson

 Another outstanding small diorama by Chan using the old Alan(ger) Bishop 25-pounder SPG.  Due to its age, the kit was rather hit-or-miss in molding and fit. Since the Bishop was based on a Valentine chassis, Chan borrowed some parts from a Tamiya Valentine to improve the look of the vehicle. On the positive side, the Alan kit did have some nice interior detail. 



The 25-pounder ammunition trailer was also borrowed from Tamiya.


The Bishop and trailer were painted with Tamiya and AK paints. VLS and MIG pigments and AK Dry Soil Weathering were used to weather the scene.



The figures are Scale 75 (with one from an unknown source.) The palm tree was purchased from a Vietnamese dealer who no longer appears to be in business.
