I really like the MkV. Cool  It's hard to believe the FT-17 had so many track parts.  The kit designer must be a really likable guy Roll Eyes

Does anyone know if anyone makes a kit of the cannons/howitzers with the funky wheels. The wheels have a bunch of articulated "shoes" on them. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yes I do. They were wooden blocks strapped to the wheels to make the guns footprint wider so it did not sink into the mud of the Western Front. I have seen them in a lot of pictures of artillery pieces. Thye would probally not be that hard to scratch build being that they were just flat wooden blocks ties to the wheels.

I've seen kits like this but can't remember where I saw them.  I'm not even sure if they were plastic or resin but they do exist.

Cool link Josh. Thanks for posting. For some reason the video file opened up in my jute box player? No biggie just never knew you could even play videos with it. Smiley
